Yep.

Depends whether you work for a hard drive manufacturer, or live in the real
world.

1 megabyte = 1024 * 1024 bytes = 1048576 bytes.

(If you're a pedant then you can call it a "mibibyte").

If you're actually reading from a file, use filesize() to get the size in
bytes. If you send a Content-Length then you have to get it exactly right, else
Bad Things probably happen.

In case you're confused by the terminology in the standard, a "byte" and an
"octet" are, for all intents and purposes, the same thing.
