This can be used to change the default behaviour of libcurl, when combined with a URL that contains a message ID, to perform a "scan listing" which can then be used to determine the size of an email. Note: For FTP this causes a NLST command to be sent to the FTP server. Beware that some FTP servers list only files in their response to NLST; they might not include subdirectories and symbolic links. Setting this option to 1 also implies a directory listing even if the URL doesn't end with a slash, which otherwise is necessary. Do NOT use this option if you also use \fICURLOPT_WILDCARDMATCH(3)\fP as it will effectively break that feature then. .SH DEFAULT 0, disabled .SH PROTOCOLS FTP, SFTP and POP3 .SH EXAMPLE TODO .SH AVAILABILITY This option was known as CURLOPT_FTPLISTONLY up to 7.16.4. POP3 is supported since 7.21.5. .SH RETURN VALUE Returns CURLE_OK if the option is supported, and CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not. .SH "SEE ALSO" .BR CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST "(3), "
