- When downloading compressed content over HTTP and the app as asked libcurl

to automatically uncompress it with the CURLOPT_ENCODING option, libcurl
  could wrongly provide the callback with more data than what the maximum
  documented amount. An application could thus get tricked into badness if the
  maximum limit was trusted to be enforced by libcurl itself (as it is
  documented).
