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. Tcl

load ./chilkat.dll

set spider [new_CkSpider]

CkSpider_Initialize $spider "www.chilkatsoft.com"

# Add the 1st URL:
CkSpider_AddUnspidered $spider "http://www.chilkatsoft.com/"

# This example demonstrates setting the MaxResponseSize property
# Do not download anything with a response size greater than 100,000 bytes.
CkSpider_put_MaxResponseSize $spider 100000

delete_CkSpider $spider
