Redirection of robots.txt in RobotRulesParser
---------------------------------------------
Key: NUTCH-731
URL:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NUTCH-731 Project: Nutch
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: fetcher
Affects Versions: 1.0.0
Reporter: Julien Nioche
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)
