Well, if you try it out like I did, at least when only
requesting headers, CURLINFO_SIZE_UPLOAD and CURLINFO_SIZE_DOWNLOAD
both return 0.0 because they access data->progress.uploaded
and data->progress.downloaded, but accessing data->progress.size_ul
and data->progress.size_dl instead returns the content-length
value of the file, which is where progress.c gets the total
it reports even when no file was transferred. No overkill there.
