Bug Type: Documentation problem
Operating System: RedHat 8.0
PHP Version: 4.3.2RC3
New Comment:
Yet another data point. I upgraded curl to 7.10.5 on linux (doh!). curl
--compressed now works. But CURLOPT_ENCODING still doesn't.
The curl docs say that curl needs to be compiled with zlib to support
compression. It looks like MS Win 4.3.2 and 4.3.3rc1 don't do this,
given that curl_info() reports "libcurl/7.10.5 OpenSSL/0.9.7b" while
linux reports "libcurl/7.10.2 OpenSSL/0.9.6 zlib/1.1.4".
This bug is currently category "documentation problem". I believe it
should be treated as a code problem. I'd really like to see it fixed in
4.3.3

Just done some analysis on this in two setups. Both 4.3.2
1. Win32 using php_curl.dll libcurl/7.10.5 OpenSSL/0.9.7b
2. redhat 7.3, compiled with '--with-curl', libcurl/7.10.2
OpenSSL/0.9.6 zlib/1.1.4
In both cases, CURLOPT_ENCODING is being ignored. no matter what
parameter is added, the Accept-Encoding: header is never generated. If
gzip content is forced to be returned, curl doesn't decode it.
Whether the problem is with curl or php I'm not sure.

As far as I can see this option is not working in Win32 4.3.2
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_ENCODING,"") and
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_ENCODING,"gzip") don't throw errors, but they
also don't generate the Accept-Encoding: header.
At a guess php_curl.dll is being built without zlib support.

Thanks for this...I know it is a documentation issue and I know it
accepts a string value...but how do you activate this feature?
I am using cURL 7.10.5
Thanks

Better make this documentation problem, couple of other
options are also not documented.

It's already there: CURLOPT_ENCODING
