Hi All,

How can I find the file size and other information for a file in an
internet site, without downloading the file???? or is it possible at
all???

Thanks.

DBC User,

If this is a site where the file is exposed through HTTP, then you can
issue a request for the resource, but make the action HEAD. This will cause
just the headers to be returned, and you can look at the Content-Length
header.

If this is not HTTP, then it depends on the protcol that is used to get
the file.
