When uploading files to OneDrive for Business using the Graph API I sometimes see that the drive item has the wrong size after the PUT request. I know that OneDrive might modify Office files on the fly but I see it happening for plain text files too.
In example below I write the string first version (13 bytes) to a new drive item.
PUT https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/drives/b!e8-Jy2tSiUy2AJBZzvZxc3DIh8dRoG9DrM6MEcF_oxinj1yhH9A8RYDHeCfkxipc/items/root:/onedrive-public-kuvgpshldglnfidf.
txt:/content
Don't think it matters but I set the Content-Type header to application/octet-stream. Graph API returns status code 201 (as expected) and the response:

Notice how drive item size is 26 and not 13 as expected. The drive item size is still 26 if I fetch the drive item using a GET request. If I follow the download URL I get the correct Content-Length header though:
$ curl -v -H "Authorization: bearer $TOKEN" $DOWNLOADURL
...
< HTTP/2 200
< cache-control: private
< content-length: 13
< content-type: text/plain
...
first version
Is it possible to get the correct drive item size directly without having to check the Content-Length header when following the download URL?
