Let's suppose you want to find the title of things on the web. This
|
|
seems like a really simple request, just get() the object, parse for a
|
|
title tag, you're done. There are several problems with this approach:
|
|
|
|
- What if the resource is on a very slow server? Do we wait for ever or
|
|
what?
|
|
|
|
- What if the resource is a 900 gig file? You don't want to download
|
|
that.
|
|
|
|
- What if the page title isn't in a title tag, but is buried in the HTML
|
|
somewhere?
|
|
|
|
- What if the resource is an MP3 file, or a word document or something?
|
|
|
|
This module attempts to solve this problem.
