How does one get a the size of a file?

How does one get a the size of a file before checking it out?

It sure would be nice to know the size from the repo metadata before
checking it out so that I can fix the automation in WebSVN (I'm fixing it's
scripts right now for a variety of things since I didn't hear from their
developers on their list per my issues) such that I can put a
"header("Content-Length: $size");" php line in their code to tell the
web-browser how big the file is while it's download...

...so that uses can see their download progress of big files (otherwise
users have little idea how fast their connection is going and sometimes how
long the download will take, etc).

Any other suggestions on how to best solve this? Maybe my analysis is
incorrect?

In the meantime, I'll hack an export save and then get the size from the
temp file.
