The most common action that a crawler takes is to follow links on a page. This module helps you with that task.

METHODS

follow_links

Parses the given HTTP::Response/Gungho::Response object and dispatches the appropriate parser from its content-type.

For each URL found, Automatically dispatches the rules given to the parser, and if the rules match, the URL is sent to Gungho->send_request.
