<p><a class="link" href="SoupContentDecoder.html" title="SoupContentDecoder"><span class="type">SoupContentDecoder</span></a> handles adding the "Accept-Encoding" header on
outgoing messages, and processing the "Content-Encoding" header on
incoming ones. Currently it supports the "gzip" and "deflate"
content codings.</p>
<p>If you are using a plain <a class="link" href="SoupSession.html" title="SoupSession"><span class="type">SoupSession</span></a> (ie, not <a class="link" href="SoupSessionAsync.html" title="SoupSessionAsync"><span class="type">SoupSessionAsync</span></a> or
<a class="link" href="SoupSessionSync.html" title="SoupSessionSync"><span class="type">SoupSessionSync</span></a>), then a <a class="link" href="SoupContentDecoder.html" title="SoupContentDecoder"><span class="type">SoupContentDecoder</span></a> will automatically be
added to the session by default. (You can use
<a class="link" href="SoupSession.html#SOUP-SESSION-REMOVE-FEATURE-BY-TYPE:CAPS" title="SOUP_SESSION_REMOVE_FEATURE_BY_TYPE"><code class="literal">SOUP_SESSION_REMOVE_FEATURE_BY_TYPE</code></a> at construct time if you don't
want this.) If you are using one of the deprecated <a class="link" href="SoupSession.html" title="SoupSession"><span class="type">SoupSession</span></a>
subclasses, you can add a <a class="link" href="SoupContentDecoder.html" title="SoupContentDecoder"><span class="type">SoupContentDecoder</span></a> to your session with
<a class="link" href="SoupSession.html#soup-session-add-feature" title="soup_session_add_feature ()"><code class="function">soup_session_add_feature()</code></a> or <a class="link" href="SoupSession.html#soup-session-add-feature-by-type" title="soup_session_add_feature_by_type ()"><code class="function">soup_session_add_feature_by_type()</code></a>.</p>
<p>If <a class="link" href="SoupContentDecoder.html" title="SoupContentDecoder"><span class="type">SoupContentDecoder</span></a> successfully decodes the Content-Encoding,
it will set the <a class="link" href="SoupMessage.html#SOUP-MESSAGE-CONTENT-DECODED:CAPS"><code class="literal">SOUP_MESSAGE_CONTENT_DECODED</code></a> flag on the message,
and the message body and the chunks in the <a class="link" href="SoupMessage.html#SoupMessage-got-chunk" title="The “got-chunk” signal"><span class="type">“got_chunk”</span></a>
signals will contain the decoded data; however, the message headers
will be unchanged (and so "Content-Encoding" will still be present,
"Content-Length" will describe the original encoded length, etc).</p>
<p>If "Content-Encoding" contains any encoding types that
<a class="link" href="SoupContentDecoder.html" title="SoupContentDecoder"><span class="type">SoupContentDecoder</span></a> doesn't recognize, then none of the encodings
will be decoded (and the <a class="link" href="SoupMessage.html#SOUP-MESSAGE-CONTENT-DECODED:CAPS"><code class="literal">SOUP_MESSAGE_CONTENT_DECODED</code></a> flag will
not be set).</p>
<p>(Note that currently there is no way to (automatically) use
Content-Encoding when sending a request body, or to pick specific
encoding types to support.)</p>
