I'm writing a little script to help automate downloading videos off of
YouTube, and I would like to know how to figure out the size of the
video files I will be downloading. I've experimented briefly with
Net::HTTP, but it's a little beyond me, as I haven't been able to
figure it out.
The URLs I'm using look like such:
http://www.youtube.com/get_video?video_id=put_real_video_id_here
and I'm getting the video id by a simple regexp. The trouble isn't
finding the file size, per-se, but finding it *before* I download the
entire thing.
I don't know if this is possible or not, but any help on the subject
would be greatly appreciated!
Thank You
