Pdf onebox showing file size as 0 bytes

bug

More a glitch than a bug, but anyway: URLs pointing to a pdf document are being oneboxed with a file size of 0 bytes. Otherwise the link works fine:

I gave it a look.

➜  onebox git:(wrong-pdf-filesize) ✗ curl --head "https://dspace.lboro.ac.uk/dspace-jspui/bitstream/2134/14294/3/greiffenhagen-ca_and_consumption.pdf"

Content-disposition: inline; filename=greiffenhagen-ca_and_consumption.pdf

Content-Type: application/pdf

The HEAD request is not returning a “content-length” for this specific file, my 2 cents is that we should just hide file size when it happens and not try to be too fancy. What do you think @techAPJ?
