How to open the file on internet and check the size-CodePudding

I want to open the url such as https://example.com/test.jpg

and check the size of image.

My idea is using subprocess with curl?

However,I suspect.. it looks not good

Is there any practice for this purpose?

Solution:

import urllib
from urllib import request

url  = "https://example.com/test.jpg"
data = urllib.request.urlopen(url).read()
size = len(data)/1024
print(str(size)   " KB")

Maybe a bit unsophisticated but could save the ../test.jpg to a temp folder and run:

import os
os.path.getsize(../test.jpg)

My understanding is that by accessing the website you are essentially downloading it so may as well store it locally for half a second and run your tests
