Thanks for the replies all. This is exactly what I was curious about.
 
Is it possible to disable cURL Content Decoding without disabling the cURL Transfer Decoding? Are these supported in PHP 5.2.5?
 
I just tried setting to both 0 and false and observed no change in output, despite the Transfer-encoding header being received as "chunked". Where content is received in a "chunked" state and CURLOPT_HTTP_CONTENT_DECODING set to false, I'm assuming it should not be possible to display cURLS output correctly in a browser? (This was my mini test hitting google.com that's why I ask).
 
What is the best way to ensure these settings have been applied?
 
Thanks again for the assistance, appreciated.
 
Cheers,
 
Steve
