Look at that!

Yep, sure looks like that'll work as well.
So it seems like the easiest way to serve up a robots file is just throw it in 
your config directory.

Hello,

If you put a robots.txt file in the config folder of your ArchivesSpace system, 
it will be served by a request for /robots.txt, after the next restart. I 
cannot remember where I read that, and cannot find it now, but can confirm it 
works, since I believe 2.6.0.

So far as I can tell, this is how I'm supposed to ask questions regarding 
ArchivesSpace.

Please forgive and correct me if I'm going about this incorrectly.



I am new to ArchivesSpace, Ruby, JBOD and web development, so I'm pretty dumb.



The PUI Pre-Launch checklist advises creating and updating robots.txt,

So we would like to set up a robots.txt file to control what crawlers can 
access when they crawl our ArvhivesSpace site 
https://archivessearch.lib.uconn.edu/<https://nam01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Farchivessearch.lib.uconn.edu%2F&data=02%7C01%7Cbob.swanson%40uconn.edu%7C60149aa8361344aef23008d6de049c5c%7C17f1a87e2a254eaab9df9d439034b080%7C0%7C0%7C636940508729139257&sdata=g1gJFYqoFtX5S5EImTzssbksDfi328kw%2B%2F1H6TigIXk%3D&reserved=0>.

I understand that robots.txt is supposed to go in the web root directory of the 
website.

In a normal apache configuration that's simple enough.



But,

We are serving ArchivesSpace via HTTPS.

a)       All Port 80 traffic is redirected to Port 443.

b)      443 traffic is proxied to 8081 (for the public interface) per the 
ArchivesSpace documentation.

  RequestHeader set X-Forwarded-Proto "https"

  ProxyPreserveHost On

  ProxyPass / http://localhost:8081/ retry=1 acquire=3000 timeout=600 
Keepalive=on

  ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:8081/

So, my web root directory (var/www/html) is empty (save some garbage left over 
from when I was testing).



I've read the documentation on 
www.robotstxt.org<https://nam01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.robotstxt.org&data=02%7C01%7Cbob.swanson%40uconn.edu%7C60149aa8361344aef23008d6de049c5c%7C17f1a87e2a254eaab9df9d439034b080%7C0%7C0%7C636940508729139257&sdata=BxRVDxhr3LQAM%2FX2GD58d%2Bt%2BUoNsnoJPYfWRk6UtH9c%3D&reserved=0>
 but I can't find anything that pertains to my situation.

I have to imagine that most ArchivesSpace sites are now https and use 
robots.txt, so this should be a somewhat a somewhat standard implementation.



I don not find much information on the Users Group site pertaining to this,

I find reference to plans for this being implemented at the web server level 
back in 2016,

But nothing beyond that.

A search of the ArchivesSpace Technical Documentation for "robots" comes up 
empty as well.



Can you please direct me to any documentation that may exist on setting up a 
robots.txt file in a proxied HTTPS instance of ArchviceSpace?

Thank you, and please tolerate my naivety.
