Note that HEAD requests don't get the actual body of the request, they just retrieve the headers. So making a HEAD request to a resource that is 100MB will take the same amount of time as a HEAD request to a resource that is 1KB.</p> </blockquote> <pre><code><?php /** * Returns the size of a file without downloading it, or -1 if the file * size could not be determined. * * @param $url - The location of the remote file to download.
