        !            27: .SH SYNOPSIS
        !            28: #include <curl/curl.h>
        !            29: 
        !            30: CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_TRANSFERTEXT, long text);
        !            31: .SH DESCRIPTION
        !            32: A parameter set to 1 tells the library to use ASCII mode for FTP transfers,
        !            33: instead of the default binary transfer. For win32 systems it does not set the
        !            34: stdout to binary mode. This option can be usable when transferring text data
        !            35: between systems with different views on certain characters, such as newlines
        !            36: or similar.
        !            37: 
        !            38: libcurl does not do a complete ASCII conversion when doing ASCII transfers
        !            39: over FTP. This is a known limitation/flaw that nobody has rectified. libcurl
        !            40: simply sets the mode to ASCII and performs a standard transfer.
