Calculating Message Size

Hi Devs,

Is there a way to get the message size (in bytes) from a HttpRequest object?
What is the right way to go about doing this?

Thanks

Hiranya,

HttpEntity#getContentLength() is what you want. If this method returns a
negative value, the content length is unknown / generated dynamically using
the chunk or identity coding.

Hope this helps
