Sorry, I thought I now know all, but there is still one thing: is
there a way to get the ContentLength without trying to get 'Get()' the
whole file.

I was looking for a kind of 'bool &Stop'-argument in the
OnWorkBegin/OnWork()-methods of TIdHTTP, but did not found anything.

Than I tried to raise/catch an exception from TIdHTTP::WorkStart,
after I got the ContentLength from OnWorkBegin() to stop the
downloading-process, but now get some strange Timeout-Exceptions
(after a time >2min) and suppose this might be the reason. Probably
that's a bad way and there is a much better one...

Thanks a lot,

Michael
