Also make it clearer that the caveat 'if the file size is unknown it the option will have no effect' may apply to protocols other than FTP and HTTP. Reported-by: Josh Soref Fixes https://github.com/curl/curl/issues/7453

|
|
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**: For protocols where the size is not known in advance (including FTP
|
|
and HTTP) this option has no effect even if the file transfer ends up being
|
|
larger than the given limit.
