.SH PROTOCOL OPTIONS
.IP CURLOPT_TRANSFERTEXT
A non-zero parameter tells the library to use ASCII mode for ftp transfers,
instead of the default binary transfer. For LDAP transfers it gets the data in
plain text instead of HTML and for win32 systems it does not set the stdout to
binary mode. This option can be usable when transferring text data between
systems with different views on certain characters, such as newlines or
similar.

\fBNOTE:\fP libcurl does not do a complete ASCII conversion when doing ASCII
transfers over FTP. This is a known limitation/flaw that nobody has
rectified. libcurl simply sets the mode to ascii and performs a standard
transfer.
.IP CURLOPT_CRLF
Convert Unix newlines to CRLF newlines on transfers.
.IP CURLOPT_RANGE
