#42911 [Com]: CURLOPT_ENCODING doesn't seem to support 'gzip'

ID: 42911 Comment by: daniel at haxx dot se Reported By: dmceo415 at yahoo dot com Status: Open Bug Type: cURL related Operating System: Windows XP PHP Version: 4.4.7 New Comment: It seems you're using a very old libcurl version... That text was modified in 7.10.5 - which is well over 4 years old!

This enables decoding of the response. Supported encodings are "identity", "deflate", and "gzip". If an empty string, "", is set, a header containing all supported encoding types is sent.' However, when I use curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_ENCODING, 'gzip') in a script, CURLOPT_VERBOSE tells me: * Unrecognized content encoding type. libcurl understands 'identity' and 'deflate' content encodings. So, is the manual wrong, or is there a bug with respect to the 'gzip' encoding? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=42911&edit=1
