HTTP: implement Brotli content encoding This uses the brotli external library (https://github.com/google/brotli). Brotli becomes a feature: additional curl_version_info() bit and structure fields are provided for it and CURLVERSION_NOW bumped. Tests 314 and 315 check Brotli content unencoding with correct and erroneous data. Some tests are updated to accomodate with the now configuration dependent parameters of the Accept-Encoding header. 2017-11-05 09:28:16 -05:00
