I need some way to check the size of a download without having to download the entire file. I am using C# and the System.Net.WebClient to do the downloads.The check needs to run in a asp.net webservice.

Thanks

c# .net asp.net

You can also use the HTTP RANGE header to download only the stuff you want.

It would be really simple to build a HttpRangeStream that supports seek and read on a remote HTTP resource, if the remote server is HTTP 1.1 and correctly supports RANGE headers.
