Filesize of downloads form www

[Steffen Loringer]

Hi group,

can I get any information on the size of a file in the internet? My
program is searching pdf documents in the www. But before the download
is started it would be helpful to know the size of the file to be
downloaded. Is there a way?

Thanks a lot
Steffen

how about

dim CurURI as new uri(strResourceURL)
dim request as WebRequest=WebRequest.Create(CurURI)
dim response as WebResponse=request.GetResponse()

'the following gets the length
response.ContentLength

HTH,

Shane
