2 Help: Ignore the size of the remote resource
3 Protocols: FTP HTTP

6 For HTTP, Ignore the Content-Length header. This is particularly useful for
7 servers running Apache 1.x, which will report incorrect Content-Length for
8 files larger than 2 gigabytes.

10 For FTP (since 7.46.0), skip the RETR command to figure out the size before
11 downloading a file.
