Uploaded File Size in LoadRunner


We are creating a LoadRunner script which will upload the files for multiple users through Web/HTTP protocol. However we need to check the uploaded file size during runtime through LoadRunner script only and accordingly do exception handling while test is running.

Please note downloading the uploaded file to check the download file size is not possible - to avoid any network congestion or extra work.
