Three encodings are supported: <span Class="emphasis">identity</span>, which does nothing, <span Class="emphasis">deflate</span> which requests the server to compress its response using the zlib algorithm, and <span Class="emphasis">gzip</span> which requests the gzip algorithm. 54<p class="level0">If a zero-length string is set like "", then an Accept-Encoding: header containing all built-in supported encodings is sent. 55<p class="level0">You can also opt to just include the Accept-Encoding: header in your request with <a Class="emphasis" href="/CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER.html">CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER</a> but then there will be no automatic decompressing when receiving data. 56<p class="level0">This is a request, not an order; the server may or may not do it.
