Markus Schuch updated CONNECTORS-1392:
--------------------------------------
Description:
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.

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.
*First proposal (to be discussed)*
Reuse the existing "Robots.txt usage" option in the "Robots" Tab. Rename the
existing options:
# Don't look at robots.txt, meta robots and rel attributes
# Obey robots.txt, meta robots tags and rel attributes for data fetches only
# Obey robots.txt, meta robots tags and rel attributes _(the default)_
The end user doc needs to be updated.
