+.TH CURLOPT_TRANSFER_ENCODING 3 "19 Jun 2014" "libcurl 7.37.0" "curl_easy_setopt options"
+.SH NAME
+CURLOPT_TRANSFER_ENCODING \- ask for HTTP Transfer Encoding
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+#include <curl/curl.h>
+
+CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_TRANSFER_ENCODING, long enable);
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+Pass a long set to 1 to \fIenable\fP or 0 to disable.
+
+Adds a request for compressed Transfer Encoding in the outgoing HTTP
+request. If the server supports this and so desires, it can respond with the
+HTTP response sent using a compressed Transfer-Encoding that will be
+automatically uncompressed by libcurl on reception.
+
+Transfer-Encoding differs slightly from the Content-Encoding you ask for with
+\fBCURLOPT_ACCEPT_ENCODING(3)\fP in that a Transfer-Encoding is strictly meant
+to be for the transfer and thus MUST be decoded before the data arrives in the
+client. Traditionally, Transfer-Encoding has been much less used and supported
+by both HTTP clients and HTTP servers.
+.SH DEFAULT
+0
+.SH PROTOCOLS
+HTTP
+.SH EXAMPLE
+TODO
+.SH AVAILABILITY
+Added in 7.21.6
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+Returns CURLE_OK if the option is supported, and CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not.
