title: Getting a count of returns seen by a RESTful request
body: <p>So, I'd like to know how many results I'll be getting back from a RESTful uri GET request.  I don't know of any way to do that at this point.  Is there a way to do that?  Since REST just throws out properties, I don't know if it is able to take a count of its results, but it can skip results and take a subset of results.  </p>
  
  <p>Anybody have any suggestions?</p>
  
  <p>Oh my setup is a LINQ to SQL that populates a queriable generic List.  The data service makes that list available.  I've tried getting a count on the list, but I always get the max rows of the database back, and that isn't what I'm looking for.</p>
