Not sure about your application in details but I have written a small one for my application to get the file size without downloading :

  var req;
  req = $.ajax({
    type: "HEAD",
    url: $("#url").val(),
    success: function () {
      alert("Size is " + request.getResponseHeader("Content-Length"));
    }
  });

Hope this helps.

Just because it's in your github, doesn't mean you wrote it. If that's how it works, I'm the author of jQuery and Wordpress – Rory McCrossan Apr 03 '17 at 07:21
