How to get the size of a remote file?

Hi there,

I'm looking for a way (template operator) to retrieve the size of a remote file. I have the full URL of the file in a text line attribute and I want to create a link in the template to the file. Works nice. Now, i want to display the (remote) file size next to the link.

How can this be done? I did not find a template operator for this yet. Although, there does not seem to exist a PHP function for this. I thought, i could use "filesize" for this (http://php.net/manual/de/function.filesize.php ) and use it throught PHPOperatorList , but this is only intended for local files.

Any idea?

Thanks for your replies.

So, i read, that currently, there is no built-in or otherwise "easy-to-get" option for this. One would need to write a (simple) template operator for it, right?
