| Request a compressed response using one of the algorithms curl supports, and | |
| automatically decompress the content. Headers are not modified. | |
| If this option is used and the server sends an unsupported encoding, curl will | |
| report an error. This is a request, not an order; the server may or may not | |
| deliver data compressed. |
