well, the below was included in my email to [EMAIL PROTECTED], which is accessible from bug 308146's page by link(s), but i want the text to be readily visible, so i'm resending this to [EMAIL PROTECTED] explicitly. (should have done this in the original email.)
in linkchecker's current form it is impossible for me to verify my own website. i am quite restrictive in robots.txt, but of course i don't mean for that to apply to my own linkchecker scan. but i cannot tell linkchecker to ignore my own robots.txt. i hoped by filing this bug that the functionality would be completed, not removed. i respect your choice to remove the partial implementation. but as a workaround to those who may come behind me, i provide the attached patch/hack. thanks for creating/maintaining linkchecker! -- [EMAIL PROTECTED]
