> The Web connectors already allows to ignore robots.txt by option.
> With this ticket, another option is added, to allow the connector to ignore robots instructions in {{<meta name="robots ...}} tags and {{<a ... rel="nofollow" ...}} attributes.
> *Proposal (to be discussed)*
> Add a new option list "Page level robots instructions" to the "Robots" Tab. List entries:
> # Obey meta robots tags (the default)
> # Don't took at meta robots tags
> The end user doc needs to be updated.
> Google ressources on robot instructions in HTML pages:
