Most Spiders have glands near their abdomens which produce a silky substance. This is the same silky substance they use to make webs and protect their eggs. Spitting spiders have the same kind of gland, but they produce venomous silk to shoot through large holes in their fangs, enabling them to capture much larger prey. They shoot this at 1/600th of a second over a maximum distance of 2 inches, or 10 times the length of their own body.

The majority of spiders inject their prey with a combination of chemical substances which will immobilise the prey (dinner) and then start to liquify what to them are the edible bits. When they have sucked up the liquified bits of dinner there are bits left but no, they don't throw up. Spiders, if their webs are disturbed, will 're-absorb' that part of webs that they can because to a spider it takes huge amount of energy to generate the silk to make a web. The use of spinnerets and some of its 8 "hands" may look like 'throwing up' but 'tis not wot's going on.
