> Fetcher should optionally (by default) suspend crawling by a configurable interval when fetching the robots.txt fails with a server errors (HTTP status code 5xx, esp. 503) following [Google's spec| https://developers.google.com/search/reference/robots_txt#handling-http-result-codes]:
> ??5xx (server error)??
> ??Server errors are seen as temporary errors that result in a "full disallow" of crawling. The request is retried until a non-server-error HTTP result code is obtained. A 503 (Service Unavailable) error will result in fairly frequent retrying. To temporarily suspend crawling, it is recommended to serve a 503 HTTP result code. Handling of a permanent server error is undefined.??
> Crawler-commons robots rules already provide [isDeverVisitis|http://crawler-commons.github.io/crawler-commons/0.9/crawlercommons/robots/BaseRobotRules.html#isDeferVisits--] to store this information (must be set from RobotRulesParser).
