Getting MIME type and byte count of a resource

[sudden haven]

I'd like to be able to populate the <enclosure> tag of an RSS feed item with the required type (MIME type) and length (byte count) of the linked resource.

I'd appreciate any suggestions on how to get this info.

My initial attempt at getting the byte count began with this:

import fs from 'fs';
...
fs.stat('<a valid relative path to an image>', (err, fileStats) => {
  if (err) {
    console.log(err);
  } else {
    console.log(fileStats);
  }
});

But that gave me the error: Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, stat <path to image>

So: MIME type and byte count of a resource for use in an rss endpoint? Suggestions welcome!

are you sure about the path? its probably not pointing where you think it is

[sudden haven]

thanks, but I'm pretty sure about the path. Used VSCode autofill to enter several valid relative paths. The one I used is in /src/public

are you able to get the same code working in your installation?

Yes, but only when using join(__dirname, relativePath) since runtime path is not the same as dev path

You can log the path and see if its correct
