[Help] Get a website's page size![Solved]

[[MPGH]master131]

How would I go about getting the size of a webpage or website (eg. 13395 bytes or 10.08KB)?

I want to do this dynamically (which means without downloading the actual webpage to calculate it!).

Content-Length property.

It's in the header of every page. You can get it using the WebRequest class.

I looked around on MSDN and had no idea what to do. /

Play around with this:

        Dim getURL As String = "www.google.com"

        Dim request As HttpWebRequest = HttpWebRequest.Create(getURL)
     
        Dim response As HttpWebResponse = request.GetResponse()
        txtWhatever.Text = response.ContentLength

Just replace text box with whatever you want, or the url as whatever you want etc etc.

Yup this will work !!

It just returns -1 on Google and returns the correct amount of bytes on images and other websites.....

Oh well, it's solved now.
