| Request a compressed response using one of the algorithms curl supports, and | |
| automatically decompress the content. | |
| Response headers are not modified when saved, so if they are "interpreted" | |
| separately again at a later point they might appear to be saying that the | |
| content is (still) compressed; while in fact it has already been decompressed. | |
| If this option is used and the server sends an unsupported encoding, curl | |
| reports an error. This is a request, not an order; the server may or may not | |
| deliver data compressed. | |
