Here is how to calculate the size and checksums (replace 2.5.0 with the correct version):

bash

# Download the archive
$ wget https://api.github.com/repos/httpie/cli/tarball/2.5.0

# Size
$ stat --printf="%s\n" 2.5.0
1105185

# Checksums
$ openssl dgst -rmd160 2.5.0
RIPEMD160(2.5.0)= 88d227d52199c232c0ddf704a219d1781b1e77ee
$ openssl dgst -sha256 2.5.0
SHA256(2.5.0)= 00c4b7bbe7f65abe1473f37b39d9d9f8f53f44069a430ad143a404c01c2179fc
