CURLINFO_CONTENT_LENGTH_DOWNLOAD and CURLINFO_SIZE_DOWNLOAD
are two different things. The content-length (if available)
should (?) be there as soon as the headers are received. But
in the case of a redirect, I think most users would expect
it to be valid only after the final set of headers, not the
first one. (i.e. the content-length of a redirect page is
probably not so interesting.)

But it should be easy enough for an application to parse
this information "manually" from the header callback.
