php - Get compressed contents using cURL

Question

I need to get content of various web pages. Some of them are compressed using different methods (gzip, deflate, etc). I've searched on the Internet and found the solution for gzipped content:

$ch = curl_init("http://games2k.net/");
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_ENCODING , "gzip");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); 
$output = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
echo $output;

However, this only works for a single method. I need a solution that works for as many compression methods as possible (preferably all of them) or at least the most popular two which are gzip and deflate.

Thanks very much for your help!

Solution

did you try

$ch = curl_init("http://games2k.net/");
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_ENCODING , "");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); 
$output = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
echo $output;

keep the quotes empty
