NAME
CURLINFO_CONTENT_LENGTH_DOWNLOAD - get content-length of download
SYNOPSIS
#include <
curl/
curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_getinfo(CURL *handle, CURLINFO_CONTENT_LENGTH_DOWNLOAD,
double *content_length);
DESCRIPTION
Pass a pointer to a double to receive the content-length of the download. This
is the value read from the Content-Length: field. Since 7.19.4, this returns
-1 if the size isn't known.
CURLINFO_CONTENT_LENGTH_DOWNLOAD_T(3) is a newer replacement that returns a more
sensible variable type.

EXAMPLE

if(curl) {
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "http://example.com");
/* Perform the request */
res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
if(!res) {
/* check the size */
double cl;
res = curl_easy_getinfo(curl, CURLINFO_CONTENT_LENGTH_DOWNLOAD, &cl);
if(!res) {
printf("Size: %.0f\\n", cl);
}
}
}
