The MaxUrlLen property prevents the spider from retrieving URLs that grow too long. The default value of MaxUrlLen is 300.

CREATE PROCEDURE ChilkatSample

    DECLARE @hr int
    DECLARE @spider int
    -- Use "Chilkat_9_5_0.Spider" for versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0
    EXEC @hr = sp_OACreate 'Chilkat.Spider', @spider OUT
    IF @hr <> 0

        PRINT 'Failed to create ActiveX component'
        RETURN

    -- Add the 1st URL:
    EXEC sp_OAMethod @spider, 'AddUnspidered', NULL, 'http://www.chilkatsoft.com/'

    -- This example demonstrates setting the MaxUrlLen property
    -- Do not add URLs longer than 250 characters to the "unspidered" queue:
    EXEC sp_OASetProperty @spider, 'MaxUrlLen', 250

    -- ..
