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. Ruby

require '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)
