Julien Nioche commented on NUTCH-731:
-------------------------------------
Here is an example which the patch helps addressing
curl
http://wizardhq.com/robots.txt<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">
<html><head>
<title>301 Moved Permanently</title>
</head><body>
<h1>Moved Permanently</h1>
<p>The document has moved <a href="
http://www.wizardhq.com/robots.txt">here</a>.</p>
</body></html>
again, the ratio of robots_denied status started going up after I wrote the patch which means that such cases are not so rare
> Redirection of robots.txt in RobotRulesParser

> The patch attached allows to follow one level of redirection for robots.txt files. A similar issue was mentioned in NUTCH-124 and has been marked as fixed a long time ago but the problem remained, at least when using Fetcher2 . Mathijs Homminga pointed to the problem in a mail to the nutch-dev list in March.
> I have been using this patch for a while now on a large cluster and noticed that the ratio of robots_denied per fetchlist went up, meaning that at least we are now getting restrictions we would not have had before (and getting less complaints from webmasters at the same time)
