Hi,
Is there some way to tell evhttp (in libevent2) to abort a request once
it has received more than <x> bytes of data?
I'm writing a small utility with a simple job of fetching a '<title>'
from a HTML page and want to make sure my utility does not end up on a
site that decides to send it several megabytes of data.
Sending a 'HEAD' request and fetching the 'Content-Length' header only
seems to work for static pages and not for dynamic pages as they output
data on the fly and have no idea how big the content will be.
So, I think ideally I'd have some way to tell evhttp to abort once it
either received the <title>..</title> or once it has received a maximum
number of bytes and then return all data it has received. Either would
be great.
Is this possible somehow?
Cheers,
Bas
