                     32: A long parameter set to 1 tells libcurl to not include the body-part in the
                     33: output when doing what would otherwise be a download. For HTTP(S), this makes
                     34: libcurl do a HEAD request. For most other protocols it means just not asking
                     35: to transfer the body data.
                     36: 
                     37: Enabling this option means asking for a download but without a body.
