OWASP Toronto Presentation - Building A Web Spider

A couple of weeks ago I spoke at OWASP Toronto. My goal was to lead a discussion on building a web application spider... what you had to consider, pitfalls to avoid and so forth. I felt like it went fairly well, the discussion lasted about an hour and there was quite a bit of group interaction. I picked up some interesting things from the attendees and I'm hoping that they picked up some interesting ideas from me. At the end of the discussion, I was asked if I could make the slides and the sample source (for a very basic spider) available. So here they are.
