Function Reference

InetGetSize

Returns the size (in bytes) of a file located on the internet.

InetGetSize ( "URL" )

 

Parameters

URL URL of the file to download. See remarks below.

 

Return Value

Success: Returns the size of the file in bytes.
Failure: Returns 0 and sets @error to 1.

 

Remarks

Internet Explorer 3 or greater must be installed for this function to work. (For ftp:// URLs IE 5 is required!)

The URL parameter should be in the form "http://www.somesite.com/path/file.html" - just like an address you would type into your web browser.

To use a username and password when connecting simply prefix the servername with "username:password@", e.g.
"http://myuser:mypassword@www.somesite.com"

Not all servers will correctly give the file size, especially when using a proxy server.
