Description:
------------
The manual has this to say about CURLOPT_ENCODING:

'The contents of the "Accept-Encoding: " header. This enables decoding of the response. Supported encodings are "identity", "deflate", and "gzip". If an empty string, "", is set, a header containing all supported encoding types is sent.'

However, when I use curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_ENCODING, 'gzip') in a script, CURLOPT_VERBOSE tells me:

* Unrecognized content encoding type. libcurl understands 'identity' and 'deflate' content encodings.

So, is the manual wrong, or is there a bug with respect to the 'gzip' encoding?

It seems you're using a very old libcurl version... That text was modified in 7.10.5 - which is well over 4 years old!

Works fine for me with PHP 5.3-dev and libcurl 7.17.0.  Can you please upgrade to a more recent version of libcurl and try again?  Thanks!

Problem is back in cURL 7.58.0 + PHP 7.3.5. But only some few URLs cause this problem.

curl_setopt($cl, CURLOPT_ENCODING, 'gzip');

If CURLOPT_ENCODING is used (no mather which value!), curl returns this error: "Unrecognized content encoding type. libcurl understands deflate, gzip content encodings."
