How to get the file size, prior to downloading it.

I want to download one of the files that are compressed in a ZIP file that
is on the http server, without downloading the entire file.

To do that I need to read de Central Directory of the ZIP file that is the
list of files in the ZIP and the position where you can find them.
The central directory is at the end of the file, does anyone know how to get
the file size in order to get the last part of it?

Sorry about my english... it has been a great efort to write this mail XD.
