If you mean that you have an uncompressed file, say 5MB, and you download it and it gets gzipped on-the-fly while it's being downloaded (i.e. HTTP GET request with
Accept-Encoding: gzip
) then I don't think there's any way to find out how many gzipped bytes it has (unless you write your own function that counts).
