Lua

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. Lua

local chilkat = require("chilkat")

local spider = chilkat.Spider.new()

spider:initialize("www.chilkatsoft.com")

-- Add the 1st URL:
spider:add_unspidered("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.max_response_size = 100000
