- Add protocols field to max-filesize.d.
- Revert wording on unknown file size caveat and do not discuss specific
protocols in that section.
Partial revert of ecf0225. All max-filesize options now have the list of
protocols and it's clearer just to have that list without discussing
specific protocols in the caveat.

Specify the maximum size (in bytes) of a file to download. If the file
|
|
requested is larger than this value, the transfer will not start and curl will
|
|
return with exit code 63.
|
|
|
|
A size modifier may be used. For example, Appending 'k' or 'K' will count the
|
|
number as kilobytes, 'm' or 'M' makes it megabytes, while 'g' or 'G' makes it
|
|
gigabytes. Examples: 200K, 3m and 1G. (Added in 7.58.0)
|
|
|
|
**NOTE**: The file size is not always known prior to download, and for such
|
|
files this option has no effect even if the file transfer ends up being larger
|
|
than this given limit. |
