I have created a ‘Get File Size’ plugin for FireFox. By the time I write this it’s in the SandBox of Mozilla’s Developers Zone, but I hope it will be available for the IT crowd soon.
This simple plugin creates a HEAD request to the URL you clicked and alerts the size of the file - the value of ‘Content-Length’ header.

As I said, plugin creates a HEAD request to the URL you clicked and alerts the size of the file - the value of ‘Content-Length’ header. Actually the plugin creates a new item in context menu you can see clicking a link.

Is it possible to add one more option in “Get file size” - view the info about the date of file (’Last-Modified’ header)?

Is it possible to show also date/time of file (’Last-Modified’ header) in your Firefox extension?

plz add MD5 info! (extremely useful for file checking)

I think it’s out of scope of this plugin.

>> I think it’s out of scope of this plugin.
Also, i guess for the MD5 info the file must be completely downloaded first to check unlike the Last-Modified info where only a little piece of header will be fetched. Alexander, am i right in this context?
