c: Copyright (C) Daniel Stenberg, daniel@haxx.se, et al. SPDX-License-Identifier: curl Long: ignore-content-length Help: Ignore the size of the remote resource Protocols: FTP HTTP Category: http ftp Added: 7.14.1 Multi: boolean See-also:

  • ftp-skip-pasv-ip Example:
  • --ignore-content-length $URL ---

--ignore-content-length

For HTTP, ignore the Content-Length header. This is particularly useful for servers running Apache 1.x, which reports incorrect Content-Length for files larger than 2 gigabytes.

For FTP, this makes curl skip the SIZE command to figure out the size before downloading a file (added in 7.46.0).
