SYNOPSIS

13

DESCRIPTION

15       Pass  a long to tell libcurl how to act on transfer decoding. If set to
16       zero, transfer decoding will be disabled, if set to  1  it  is  enabled
17       (default).  libcurl  does  chunked  transfer decoding by default unless
18       this option is set to zero.
