CURLOPT_HTTP_TRANSFER_DECODING \- HTTP transfer decoding control
.SH SYNOPSIS
.nf
#include <curl/curl.h>

CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_HTTP_TRANSFER_DECODING,
                         long enabled);
.fi

transfer decoding is disabled, if set to 1 it is enabled (default). libcurl
does chunked transfer decoding by default unless this option is set to zero.
.SH NOTES
This option does not work with the hyper backend as that always has transfer
decoding enabled.
.SH DEFAULT
1
.SH PROTOCOLS
This functionality affects http only
