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
---
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.
