> The {{http.robot.rules.whitelist}} ([NUTCH-1927|https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NUTCH-1927]) configuration parameter allows to specify a comma separated list of hostnames or IP addresses to ignore robot rules parsing for.
> Adding support for wildcard in {{http.robot.rules.whitelist}} could be very useful and simplify the configuration, for example, if we need to give many hostnames/addresses. Here is an example:
> {noformat}
> <name>http.robot.rules.whitelist</name>
>   <value>*.sample.com</value>
>   <description>Comma separated list of hostnames or IP addresses to ignore 
>   robot rules parsing for. Use with care and only if you are explicitly
>   allowed by the site owner to ignore the site's robots.txt!
>   </description>
> </property>
> {noformat}
