[jira] Created: (INFRA-3389) Reduce exposure of nightly build
documentation to search engines
Reduce exposure of nightly build documentation to search engines
----------------------------------------------------------------
Key: INFRA-3389
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-3389
Project: Infrastructure
Issue Type: Wish
Security Level: public (Regular issues)
Components: Hudson
Reporter: Uwe Schindler
If somebody searches e.g. for JavaDocs of Lucene, he will get a lot of hits, also to the nightly build documentation. In most cases this nightly build documentation is much too prominent. This may confuse users.
Would it be possible to exclude Hudson build dirs and workspaces completely from search engines by adding a robots.txt to the root folder with "Disallow: /"?

------------------------------
technically it is by both position and redirection, but not by uri, I'll see what we can do.

Uwe Schindler commented on INFRA-3389:
--------------------------------------
A robots.txt has only any effect, if it is in the URI root folder of the web server so reachable by http://server/robots.txt. See robots specification: [http://www.robotstxt.org/robotstxt.html]
