["Florent ANDRE (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

Florent ANDRE commented on DROIDS-105:
--------------------------------------

Thanks for pointing this.

Did you see a way to change the final status of contentLoader in HttpProtocol ?

You cachingContentLoader class can be use inside droids ? If yes can you provide a patch from the project's root ? It's more expressive and understandable that an attached class.

> the current implementation of the HttpClient will not cache any requests to the robots.txt file. While using the CrawlingWorker this will result in 2 requests to the robots.txt (HEAD + GET) per crawled URL. So when crawling 3 URLs the target server would get 6 requests for the robots.txt.
> unfortunately the contentLoader is made final in HttpProtocol, so there is no possibility to replace it with a caching Protocol like that one you'll find in the attachment.
