As a general rule, feel free to contact youtube-dl developers and users
at https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl/issues/ . youtube-dl is just one
application, which happens to be written in Python.

You may be able to send a HEAD request to the URL, but there's no
guarantee the response will contain a Content-Length header. In fact,
there will never be a Content-Lenght header for infinite HTTP streams.
Also, RTMP URLs are way more complicated.

You need rtmpdump. See http://rtmpdump.mplayerhq.hu/ for instructions on
how to install it.

If you think so, please open an issue. Do not forget to consider the
usefulness not only for your specific application, but also of other
applications. I think the command-line API
(https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl/issues/152) will be your best shot.
Note that you can already redirect youtube-dl's output to a file, just
like any other shell program:

$ youtube-dl uHlDtZ6Oc3s > log

will write a file log that contains all of youtube-dl's output. If the
return code is not 0, an error has occured.

Cheers,
