Just a quick idea:

* CURLOPT_ENCODING: NULL

* CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER: function that sets Accept-Encoding to
  "gzip,deflate"

* CURLOPT_HEADERFUNCTION: function that reads Content-Encoding

Is that the way to go?

PS: I want to store the respons in a database, and leaving it
uncompressed should increase performance and safe space.
