Verifying proper transfer of JSON packet to iOS device
===

I was wondering what is an easy and good way to verify my packet was transferred to the iPad successfully?

What I thought I could do, is pass the file size with the JSON object on the server side, and verify it's the same size on the iPad.  On the server side, it's a rest service written in C#.  I know I can get the FileInfo(file).length that is being transferred.  However, on the iPad, because this packet is being serialized as JSON, my tab-delimited text file now has more characters in it.  So if I write that file to disk, the file is much larger than it originally was.
