This option +must be set (to any non-NULL value) or else any unsolicited encoding done by +the server is ignored. See the special file lib/README.encoding for further +details. +.SH DEFAULT +NULL +.SH PROTOCOLS +HTTP +.SH EXAMPLE +TODO +.SH AVAILABILITY +This option was called CURLOPT_ENCODING before 7.21.6 +.SH RETURN VALUE +Returns CURLE_OK if the option is supported, and CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not. +.SH "SEE ALSO" +.BR CURLOPT_TRANSFER_ENCODING "(3), " CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER "(3), " |
