Get size of file requested via ajax

Question

Here\'s what I\'m hoping to do:

I want to send an ajax request to a file (preferably with jQuery), and once the file has been loaded, determine the size of the reque

Answer 1

var XHRObj = $.ajax({
    type:'HEAD',
    url:'/',
    success:function(data) {
        console.log( XHRObj.getResponseHeader('Content-Length') )
    }
})

You basically do a HEAD HTTP request and query the Content-Length, which returns X bytes.
