Comment (by dshanske):

 Seems I may have overscoped here. Collectively, this was an attempt to
 update the entire function, but I see the point of breaking it into
 pieces.

 1. I really have to learn how to write unit tests. It's a weakness of
 mine, I admit. I may need help with that.

 2. Will split it into a separate ticket.

 3. This was basically an attempt at better early rejection to address
 spammy pings, paired with HEAD request and the immediate rejection of
 media content types(which is what we do in reverse when pinging a site).
 The current logic looks for a URL in the content...but again...will break
 it off into a separate ticket.

 4. The average size of a webpage keeps increasing. But, point taken. May
 be better to make that a filtered option to increase if I feel it is
 needed, as opposed to hard-coding. And also, a separate ticket.

 I guess I will be opening more tickets then I close again...
