Setting a Maximum Response Size

See more Spider Examples

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.

Chilkat Perl Downloads

Perl
use chilkat();

$spider = chilkat::CkSpider->new();

$spider->Initialize("www.chilkatsoft.com");

# Add the 1st URL:
$spider->AddUnspidered("http://www.chilkatsoft.com/");

# This example demonstrates setting the MaxResponseSize property
# Do not download anything with a response size greater than 100,000 bytes.
$spider->put_MaxResponseSize(100000);
