Setting a Maximum Response Size

The MaxResponseSize property protects your spider from downloading a page that is too large. By default, MaxResponseSize = 300,000 bytes. Setting it to 0 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.

LOCAL loSpider

loSpider = CreateObject('Chilkat.Spider')

loSpider.Initialize("www.chilkatsoft.com")

* Add the 1st URL:
loSpider.AddUnspidered("http://www.chilkatsoft.com/")

* Do not download anything with a response size greater than 100,000 bytes.
