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.

' The Chilkat Spider component/library is free.
Dim spider As New Spider

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.MaxResponseSize = 100000
