Size of file on the Internet using Java

To get the size of file from server first you need to connect to the server using URL and HttpURLConnection Class. To get the size of file we use getContentLength() method. As the size of file can be too large we use BigInteger class. You cannot use integer datatype as it can generate an error in case the size of file is greater than 2Gb.

For HttpURLConnection refer link: Java.net.HttpURLConnection Class in Java

public class SizeFile {

    public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception

        BigInteger size = new BigInteger("1");

        // get the url of web page
        URL url = new URL(
            "https://media.geeksforgeeks.org/wp-content/uploads/GATE.pdf");

        // create a connection
        HttpURLConnection conn;
        try
        {

            // open stream to get size of page
            conn = (HttpURLConnection)url.openConnection();

            // set request method.
            conn.setRequestMethod("HEAD");

            // get the input stream of process
            conn.getInputStream();

            // store size of file
            size = BigInteger.valueOf(conn.getContentLength());

            // print the size of downloaded file
            System.out.println("The Size of file is:" +
                                       size + " bytes");
            conn.getInputStream().close();
        }
        catch (Exception e)
        {
            System.out.println("Connection failed");
        }
