You do reaize that objects have many sizes right?

... the gzip compressed size? bzip2 compressed size? chunked encoding
size? what chunk size? (overheads differ by chunk size), what IMS
response size?
 identify size? if text 8-, 16- or 32-bit characters? what language?
(variable words)

 or should you log the size of response *actually* delivered to the
client? eg. the error message.

Most of those are not known without downloading the object in full. Any
of the client headers may also cause embeded content to change. Such as
language headers changing charsets of the content.
