Hi folks, I am using LWP::UserAgent and want to skip requests ($ua->request) that would exceed a certain filesize. I understand that $ua->max_size($max) will abort the download when the limit is reached but can you also figure out the filesize right from the beginning and then abort if necessary _before_ downloading up to $max bytes ? The callback routine $ua->request($req,\&callback) seems of no use for this purpose or is the total filesize stored in the response object while download is still in progress ? Can't figure this out by the manpages :-)
Thx in advance Uli
