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. | |
\fBNOTE:\fP The file size is not always known prior to download, and for such | |
files this option has no effect even if the file transfer ends up being larger | |
than this given limit. This concerns both FTP and HTTP transfers. |
