request encoding without decoding

[Giuseppe Attardi]

I want to be able to request for gzip content encoding, but do not want 
curl to decode it for me, since I want to store the content encoded.

I could only achieve this by configuring curl with
    --without-zlib

and setting:

    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_ACCEPT_ENCODING,"gzip");

Is there a better way to do this?
