Get size without authenticating?

Can I get the size of a file via a CURL command given only a link without authenticating? E.g., https://www.dropbox.com/s/uf12345szlap449/Files.mp4?dl=0

Thanks. That works, however, I had to use "curl -LI", otherwise it tries to download the entire file. And it worked fine with the original "dl=0" link as well.
