(Node.js) Setting a Maximum Response Size

The MaxResponseSize property protects your spider from downloading a page that is too large. By default, MaxResponseSize = 0, which indicates that there is no maximum. You may set it to a number indicating the maximum number of bytes to download. URLs with response sizes larger than this will be skipped.

    // This example demonstrates setting the MaxResponseSize property
    // Do not download anything with a response size greater than 100,000 bytes.
