    I know there is a max readirect i can setup for the curl connection , but is there a max read-size? I don't want to accidentaly read an 5MB page while i only wish for example to create a small bot to read the meta tags (incl;uding title) so only max first 1kb of a website

    Use CURLOPT_RANGE.

    Something like this:
    
curl_setopt($ch,"CURLOPT_RANGE","0-1000");
    PHP:
    You have to experiment with the range a bit, to see whatever satisfies your demand.
