CURLOPT_TRANSFERTEXT(3) 				     curl_easy_setopt options					   CURLOPT_TRANSFERTEXT(3)

NAME

       CURLOPT_TRANSFERTEXT - request a text based transfer for FTP

SYNOPSIS

       #include <curl/curl.h>

       CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_TRANSFERTEXT, long text);

DESCRIPTION

       A  parameter  set  to 1 tells the library to use ASCII mode for FTP transfers, instead of the default binary transfer. 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  cer-
       tain characters, such as newlines or similar.

       libcurl does not do a complete ASCII conversion when doing ASCII transfers over FTP. This is a known limitation/flaw that nobody has recti-
       fied. libcurl simply sets the mode to ASCII and performs a standard transfer.

DEFAULT

       0, disabled

PROTOCOLS

       FTP

EXAMPLE

       TODO

AVAILABILITY

       Along with FTP

RETURN VALUE

       Returns CURLE_OK if FTP is supported, and CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not.

CURLOPT_IGNORE_CONTENT_LENGTH(3)			     curl_easy_setopt options				  CURLOPT_IGNORE_CONTENT_LENGTH(3)

NAME

       CURLOPT_IGNORE_CONTENT_LENGTH - ignore content length

SYNOPSIS

       #include <curl/curl.h>

       CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_IGNORE_CONTENT_LENGTH,
				 long ignore);

DESCRIPTION

       If ignore 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  con-
       nection.

       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.

DEFAULT

       0

PROTOCOLS

       HTTP

EXAMPLE

       CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
       if(curl) {
	 curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "http://example.com");

	 /* we know the server is silly, ignore content-length */
	 curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_IGNORE_CONTENT_LENGTH, 1L);

	 curl_easy_perform(curl);
       }

AVAILABILITY

       Added in 7.14.1. Support for FTP added in 7.46.0.

RETURN VALUE

       Returns CURLE_OK if the option is supported, and CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not.
