Fuad Efendi commented on NUTCH-101:
-----------------------------------

1. There is a bug in method parseRules(byte[] robotContent):
...
    StringTokenizer lineParser= new StringTokenizer(content, "\n\r");
...

Should be:
...
    content = content.replaceAll("\\r+", "\n");
    content = content.replaceAll("\\n+", "\n");
    StringTokenizer lineParser = new StringTokenizer(content, "\n");
...
(or something better)

Even more characters should be allowed:
- newline (line feed) character ('\n'), 
- carriage-return character followed immediately by a newline character 
("\r\n"), 
- standalone carriage-return character ('\r'), 
- next-line character ('\u0085'), 
- line-separator character ('\u2028')
- paragraph-separator character ('\u2029)

2. The code contains check "Allow:" - however it works fine with standard empty 
"Disallow:" == allow everything

3. There is minor bug in main():
...
      String[] robotNames= new String[argv.length - 1];
...

Must be:
...
      String[] robotNames= new String[argv.length - 2];
...

> I noticed this code in protocol-http & protocol-httpclient plugins:
>       } else if ( (line.length() >= 6)
>                   && (line.substring(0, 6).equalsIgnoreCase("Allow:")) ) {
> However, according to the original 1994 protocol description, there is NO 
> "Allow:" field. To allow, simply use "Disallow:  ". 
> http://www.robotstxt.org/wc/norobots.html
> Please, try to test with www.newegg.com/robots.txt
> - their site has this:
> User-agent: *
> Disallow: 
> And Nutch does not work with New Egg, but it should!
> Sorry guys, I don't have enough time to double-ensure, could you please 
> verify all this...
> I noticed strange discussion at nutch-agent:lucene.apache.org, it seems that 
> we need to test ......./robots.txt
> User-agent: ia_archiver
> Disallow: /
> User-agent: Googlebot-Image
> Disallow: /
> User-agent: Nutch
> Disallow: /
> User-agent: TurnitinBot
> Disallow: /    
> - everything according to standard protocol. Can you retest please whether it 
> works with multiline? It's a standard!
> I see this in code:
>    StringTokenizer tok = new StringTokenizer(agentNames, ",");
>  
> Comma separated? It's not accepted standard yet...
> Sorry WebExpertsAmerica, I really didn't have any time to make any test...
> Please do not execute tests against production sites.
> Thanks!
