Subject: [PATCH 1/2] remote-curl: accept all encoding supported by curl

From: Brandon Williams <[email-masked]>
Date: Mon, 21 May 2018 16:40:03 -0700

Configure curl to accept all encoding which curl supports instead of
only accepting gzip responses.

This is necessary to fix a bug when using an installation of curl which
doesn't support gzip.  Since curl doesn't do any checking to verify that
it supports the encoding set when calling 'curl_easy_setopt()', curl can
end up sending an "Accept-Encoding" header indicating that it supports
a particular encoding when in fact it doesn't.  Instead when the empty
string "" is used when setting `CURLOPT_ENCODING`, curl will send an
"Accept-Encoding" header containing only the encoding methods curl
supports.
