[jira] [Created] (NUTCH-1513) Support Robots.txt for Ftp urls

Tejas Patil created NUTCH-1513:
----------------------------------

             Summary: Support Robots.txt for Ftp urls
                 Key: NUTCH-1513
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NUTCH-1513
             Project: Nutch
          Issue Type: Improvement
    Affects Versions: 1.7, 2.2
            Reporter: Tejas Patil
            Priority: Minor


As per [0], a FTP website can have robots.txt like [1]. In the nutch code, Ftp plugin is not parsing the robots file and accepting all urls.

In "_src/plugin/protocol-ftp/src/java/org/apache/nutch/protocol/ftp/Ftp.java_"

{noformat}   public RobotRules getRobotRules(Text url, CrawlDatum datum) {
    return EmptyRobotRules.RULES;
  }{noformat} 

Its not clear of this was part of design or if its a bug.
