When we access to the site.

If we don't want to waste time loading the remaining portion.

Such as

Thank you

    Can't it be?

    I mean not the kind of Feed.
    I would like to open a web page. Similar to open the browser.
    But the show just wanted to see.
    Something like that.

    That's not how HTTP works. You have to read the document from top to bottom. In theory you could stop reading at a certain point, but it's going to be delivered from top to bottom no matter what, starting with the HTTP headers.

      "stop reading at a certain point..."

      In the sense of "stop reading at a certain point..."

      Does it mean everything stop?

      Images and IFRAME which is downloading are stop too, right?


      Or we can stop the downloading of code.
      But proceed to download Images and IFRAME inside the code to be completed.


      Sorry if my question was so ambiguous.
      I don't know how to explain it.

    I'm just speaking in terms of programming. Since you're asking this question in the programming forum, that's the answers I give. In terms of file access, a programming language can instruct a computer to stop reading the information it is receiving from a file pointer at any time. Making an HTTP request is basically just accessing a file across a network, except that you don't have control over how that file is delivered, it is being sent to you by a server.

    If you're just looking for tools to do this for you, it isn't really a programming question, and I can't help you much I'm afraid. There are plenty of content scrapers out there, but I don't know if it's worth it trying to find something that does exactly what you're describing. They will probably all read the whole page and extract whatever part you require, or whatever. There's not much overhead in reading a little bit of extra text. Only images and actual HTTP requests cause any overhead worth mentioning.

      I understand, although not all.
      sorry if my programming skill is not so good. I don't know what should i ask to make it clear.

      But from what you describe, I would understand.
      It seems that if we try to load only partially, it is cumbersome than necessary.

    You can 'inspect element' on google chrome... If that's what you mean.
    Highlight the selected text and then right click and scroll down to inspect element.
    Or right click and scroll down to 'View page source' then search for the bit you want.

      But that's not the way I thought.
      I think in terms of load automatically.
      Something like that.
