REST Response Size

[Programmer45]

As per my SO question here:

What is the best way to go about measuring the size of the response when using RESTTemplate?

I figure I'll have to count the bytes from the response somehow, but I'm not sure where to do that at.

I'm already extending RESTTemplate to allow for GZip compression, so I figure there is just a method in there I can override, if it's not already built in.

Most, if not all, of my requests are structured like so:

// Just applies app wide auth and SSL info, returns a GzipRestTemplate
RestTemplate r = RestTemplateFactory.make( mContext );

BaseModelListRequest jsonData = null;

jsonData = r.getForObject( uri[0], BaseModelListRequest.class );

And then later:

private LinkedHashMap< String, BaseModel[] > mObjects;

mObjects = jsonData.getAllContent();

If there is already a facility to do this, then I'm missing it in the docs, and if there isn't if someone could guide me as to what the most seamless insertion of such a function would be, I'd appreciate it very much.

Currently, RestTemplate does not provide a mechanism for determining the download progress. We have an open feature request for adding this functionality [0] in a future release.
