Unable to set CURLOPT_ACCEPT_ENCODING to NULL #11433
Description
Description
According to the CURL documentation (https://curl.se/libcurl/c/CURLOPT_ACCEPT_ENCODING.html) setting CURLOPT_ACCEPT_ENCODING to a null value (not an empty string) will prevent it from decompressing the returned data stream. This is desirable in a caching/proxy scenario.
Currently this is not possible as PHP will always provide a string to this value.

I have just noticed that the default is
NULLif the option is not set at all, simply providing the content-encoding header will result in the compressed content being returned in it's original form. This though IMO is still a bug as settingNULLshould actually setNULLso that one doesn't have to rely on defaults that may change in the future.Fix phpGH-11433: Unable to set CURLOPT_ACCEPT_ENCODING to NULL
