Description
I noticed this code in protocol-http & protocol-httpclient plugins:
} else if ( (line.length() >= 6)
&& (line.substring(0, 6).equalsIgnoreCase("Allow:")) ) {
However, according to the original 1994 protocol description, there is NO "Allow:" field. To allow, simply use "Disallow: ". http://www.robotstxt.org/wc/norobots.html
Please, try to test with www.newegg.com/robots.txt
- their site has this:
User-agent: *
Disallow:
And Nutch does not work with New Egg, but it should!
Sorry guys, I don't have enough time to double-ensure, could you please verify all this...
I noticed strange discussion at nutch-agent:lucene.apache.org, it seems that we need to test ......./robots.txt
User-agent: ia_archiver
Disallow: /
User-agent: Googlebot-Image
Disallow: /
User-agent: Nutch
Disallow: /
User-agent: TurnitinBot
Disallow: /
- everything according to standard protocol. Can you retest please whether it works with multiline? It's a standard!
I see this in code:
StringTokenizer tok = new StringTokenizer(agentNames, ",");
Comma separated? It's not accepted standard yet...
Sorry WebExpertsAmerica, I really didn't have any time to make any test...
Please do not execute tests against production sites.
Thanks!
