Number of bytes over wire for DownloadToString

[Florian Gauger]

Hi all,

We are using DownloadToStringOfUnboundedSizeUntilCrashAndDie and would like to get the number of bytes that were sent over the wire.

In the callback we tried using:

simle_url_loader->ResponseInfo()->content_length = -1
simle_url_loader->ResponseInfo()->encoded_body_length = -1
simle_url_loader->ResponseInfo()->encoded_data_length = 742

response_string->size() = 324,442

Is there a way to get the number of bytes that were sent over the wire that (more or less) correspond to the string size (324,442)? We don't need an exact number but a rough upper bound would be fine.

Thanks!

Florian

For clarification: We are sending a http request and return a proto in the response body.

I assumed that we are using some form of default compression.

It looks like headers->GetContentLength() contains a value in the range of what we expect. Is this correct and why is content_length not set? 

simle_url_loader->ResponseInfo()->content_length = -1
simle_url_loader->ResponseInfo()->encoded_body_length = -1

simle_url_loader->ResponseInfo()->encoded_data_length = 743

simle_url_loader->ResponseInfo()->headers->GetContentLength() = 204,180

response_string->size() = 654,957
