Compressed File Size

Does anyone know how to get the compressed size of a file on disk?
FileInfo.Length gives the uncompressed size of a file, but I need to find
the amount of disk space taken up by files in compressed directories
(Windows XP). Getting the "compressed " attribute is available, but how does
one get the compressed size?

Thanks in advance.

Hi, I have spent most of the day on this so any help would be appreciated. I have set up mod_deflate in Apache so that any input marked content-type gzip from the client is automatically decompressed before being forwarded on to the server-side java servlet. The idea is that I compress a file on the client write it to the stream and then it reaches the servlet decompressed through Apache. At the

We have a .NET 1.1 client which is sending a gzipped soap request using HttpWebRequest to an Apache server. The Apache server is using a the 'mod_deflate' server to decompress the incoming message, and to also compress the response (GZIP). The mod_deflate filter requires the 'Content-Length' header contained within the incoming request to specify the number of UNCOMPRESSED bytes being sent and not the actual bytes of the body of the...

I am using the System.Compression.GZipStream class, and I noticed that in certain cases, the resultant compressed file is actually larger than the original. This is almost a constant when compressing already-compressed formats such as jpeg. Another less-consistent example of this behavior is found in the case of compressing TIFFs, wherein some files end up greatly compressed (the larger ones up to 93% compression ratio) and others end up...

Hi, I'm writing my own implementation of the Gnutella P2P protocol using C#. I have implemented it using BeginReceive and EndReceive calls so as not to block when waiting for data from the supernode. Everything I have written works fine sending and receiving uncompressed data. But now I want to implement compression using the deflate algorithm as the Gnutella protocol accepts: Accept-Encoding: deflate Content-Encoding: deflate in the...

Hi, I am using GZipStream to compress a simple text file approx 24MB in size. I am finding that the destination "compressed" file is several MB larger than the source file (31MB). The code is as follows: Dim sourcefile As FileStream = File.OpenRead(inFileName) Dim destFile As FileStream = File.Open(outFilename, FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write)
