.TH CURLOPT_IGNORE_CONTENT_LENGTH 3 "19 Jun 2014" "libcurl 7.37.0" "curl_easy_setopt options"
|
|
.SH NAME
|
|
CURLOPT_IGNORE_CONTENT_LENGTH \- ignore content length
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.nf
|
|
#include <curl/curl.h>
|
|
|
|
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_IGNORE_CONTENT_LENGTH,
|
|
long ignore);
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
If \fIignore\fP is set to 1L, ignore the Content-Length header in the HTTP
|
|
response and ignore asking for or relying on it for FTP transfers.
|
|
|
|
This is useful for HTTP with Apache 1.x (and similar servers) which will
|
|
report incorrect content length for files over 2 gigabytes. If this option is
|
|
used, curl will not be able to accurately report progress, and will simply
|
|
stop the download when the server ends the connection.
|
|
|
|
It is also useful with FTP when for example the file is growing while the
|
|
transfer is in progress which otherwise will unconditionally cause libcurl to
|
|
report error.
|
|
|
|
Only use this option if strictly necessary.
|
|

|
0
