curl/docs/cmdline-opts/ignore-content-length.d

Long: ignore-content-length
Help: Ignore the size of the remote resource
Protocols: FTP HTTP
Category: http ftp
Example: --ignore-content-length $URL
Added: 7.14.1
See-also: ftp-skip-pasv-ip
---
For HTTP, Ignore the Content-Length header. This is particularly useful for
servers running Apache 1.x, which will report incorrect Content-Length for
files larger than 2 gigabytes.

For FTP (since 7.46.0), skip the RETR command to figure out the size before
downloading a file.

This option does not work for HTTP if libcurl was built to use hyper.

docs: add categories to all cmdline opts Adapted gen.pl with 'listcats' This commit is a part of "--help me if you can" Closes #5680 2020-07-13 20:15:04 +08:00			`Category: http ftp`
curl.1: provide examples for each option The file format for each option now features a "Example:" header that can provide one or more examples that get rendered appropriately in the output. All options MUST have at least one example or gen.pl complains at build-time. This fix also does a few other minor format and consistency cleanups. Closes #7654 2021-08-31 22:37:14 +08:00			`Example: --ignore-content-length $URL`
cmdline-opts: made the 'Added:' field mandatory Since "too old" versions are no longer included in the generated man page, this field is now mandatory so that it won't be forgotten and then not included in the documentation. Closes #7786 2021-09-28 17:50:07 +08:00			`Added: 7.14.1`
curl.1: require "see also" for every documented option gen.pl now generates a warning if the "See Also" field is not filled in for a command line option All command line options now provide one or more related options. 167 "See alsos" added!
