[jira] Created: (NUTCH-731) Redirection of robots.txt in RobotRulesParser

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)

-----------------------------------------

Fixed in rev. 823540 - I applied a slightly modified version of the patch, to account for common errors in redirects. Thank you!

People have redirects on their robots.txt?  Wow.  Do you have an example of that handy, by any chance?

Julien Nioche commented on NUTCH-731:
-------------------------------------

Here is an example which the patch helps addressing 

curl http://wizardhq.com/robots.txt

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">
<html><head>
<title>301 Moved Permanently</title>
</head><body>
<h1>Moved Permanently</h1>
<p>The document has moved <a href="http://www.wizardhq.com/robots.txt">here</a>.</p>
</body></html>

again, the ratio of robots_denied status started going up after I wrote the patch which means that such cases are not so rare

Ken Krugler commented on NUTCH-731:
-----------------------------------

This is definitely an issue - I've been pinging various domains while testing robots.txt handling in bixo, and many of them will do a redirect if you use http://<domain>/robots.txt, to http://www.<domain>/robots.txt.

-------------------------------------

I don't have a specific example now, in all the cases I have seen the redirections were between two variants of a hostname with and without www.
