Tejas Patil updated NUTCH-1715:
-------------------------------
Description:
In RobotRulesParser, when Nutch creates a agent string from multiple agents, it
combines agents from both 'http.agent.name' and 'http.robots.agents'. Along
with that it appends a wildcard '*' to it in the end. This is sent to crawler
commons while parsing the rules. The wildcard '*' added to the end gets matched
with the first rule in robots file and thus results in the url being robots
denied while the robots.txt actually allows them.
This issue was reported by [~markus17]. The discussion over nutch-user is here:
