I'm wonder how to see how many bytes are transferred from the server to the
browser window at each postback?

any suggestions?

Click to expand...

A postback submits the content of the <form> back to the page itself.
It means when you have a webform with a textbox TextBox1 and a button
Button1 ASP.net submits the name of controls (TextBox1, Button1) and
their values. Plus, hidden controls and their values such as
__EVENTTARGET and __VIEWSTATE and others (click on View Source in the
browser to see what hidden controls were generated by ASP.net within
the <form> tag). So, the size of unecrypted Content-Type in bytes will
be the length of the following string sent to the server
TextBox1=test&Button1=Button1& __EVENTTARGET=&
__VIEWSTATE=verylongstringhere...

You can see it very well if you install Fiddler from http://www.fiddler2.com
