filesize

Let's say I want XML Files only with upto 10MB to be loaded from a remote server. Something like $xml_file = "http://example.com/largeXML.xml";// size= 500MB //PRACTICAL EXAMPLE: $xml_file = "http://www.cs.washington.edu/research/xmldatasets/data/pir/psd7003.xml";// size= 683MB /*GOAL: Do anything that can be done to hinder this large file from being loaded by the DOMDocument without having to load the File n check*/ $dom = new DOMDocument(); $dom->load($xml_file /*LOAD only IF the file_size is <= 10MB....else...echo 'File is too large'*/); How can this possibly be achieved?.... Any idea or

I have an file input tag in my web app. I'd like to check that the file isn't too big before sending it to the server. Of course, I still have validation server side. Is there any way to do this with JavaScript? It must work in IE7+ and FF3+. Thank you. EDIT: somefileinputobject.files[0].filesize works in FF, but not IE. It's a hard problem. You have to do it with AJAX, and use the filesize headers sent by the browser to the server on the POST request. Yahoo's UI Library has a tool to help with this. YUI Uploader Javascript cannot do this. It would have serious security issues. Perhaps flash

I can't understand why the 'chown' command should increase the size of my docker image? The following Dockerfile creates an image of size 5.3MB: FROM alpine:edge RUN adduser example -D -h /example -s /bin/sh This example however creates an image of size 8.7MB: FROM alpine:edge RUN adduser example -D -h /example -s /bin/sh && \ chown -R example.example /lib Why? Note: My actual dockerfile is of course much longer than this example and therefore the increase in image size is also quite larger. That's why I even care.. Every step in a Dockerfile generates a new intermediate image, or "layer",

I know the normal way of getting the size of a file would be to use a FileInfo instance: using System.IO; class SizeGetter { public static long GetFileSize(string filename) { FileInfo fi = new FileInfo(filename); return fi.Length; } } Is there a way to do the same thing without having to create an instance of FileInfo, using a static method? Maybe I'm trying to be overly stingy with creating a new instance every time I want a file size, but take for example trying to calculate the total size of a directory containing 5000+ files. As optimized as the GC may be, shouldn't there be a way to do
