--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).

This option does not work for HTTP if libcurl was built to use hyper.
