Retreiving file size before download

[ultraman]

Hi guys ?

Does anyone know could I get the size of a particular before I download it with System.NET.WebClient DownloadFile method ?

I believe the headers send by the HTTP server tell you the size of the file using the header 'content-length', so you'll probably need to make another connection using a HTTP Request or use a socket to retrieve the headers.
