SYNOPSIS

9       #include <curl/curl.h>
10
11       CURLcode curl_easy_getinfo(CURL *handle, CURLINFO_CONTENT_LENGTH_DOWNLOAD,
12                                  double *content_length);
13

DESCRIPTION

15       Pass  a  pointer to a double to receive the content-length of the down‐
16       load. This is the value read  from  the  Content-Length:  field.  Since
17       7.19.4, this returns -1 if the size is not known.
18
19       CURLINFO_CONTENT_LENGTH_DOWNLOAD_T(3)  is  a newer replacement that re‐
20       turns a more sensible variable type.
