What do you mean by that?  Facebook pages can be infinitely long; they 
generate new data as you scroll toward the bottom of what was already 
sent.  There are limits to the size of bitmaps, and of course there are 
limits to your memory.  Even the browsers don't store the whole page in 
memory as a bitmap.

You can't.  Web pages don't have a maximum size.  You'll need to deal 
with subsets.
