Sebastian Nagel commented on NUTCH-1995:
----------------------------------------
+1, yes
* there is already an output / log message about whitelisted URLs/hosts either
in RobotsRulesParser's main() or in getRobotRulesSet(): do we need an
additional log message on level INFO (cf. discussion in NUTCH-1927)? Logging is
now a somewhat redundant:
{noformat}
2015-05-26 23:13:58,402 INFO protocol.RobotRulesParser - localhost is
whitelistened: true
2015-05-26 23:13:58,405 INFO api.HttpRobotRulesParser - Whitelisted host found
for: http://localhost
2015-05-26 23:13:58,405 INFO api.HttpRobotRulesParser - Ignoring robots.txt
for all URLs from whitelisted host: localhost
{noformat}
> Add support for wildcard to http.robot.rules.whitelist

> Key: NUTCH-1995
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NUTCH-1995
> Project: Nutch
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: robots
> Affects Versions: 1.10
> Reporter: Giuseppe Totaro

> The {{http.robot.rules.whitelist}}
> ([NUTCH-1927|https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NUTCH-1927]) configuration
> parameter allows to specify a comma separated list of hostnames or IP
> addresses to ignore robot rules parsing for.
> Adding support for wildcard in {{http.robot.rules.whitelist}} could be very
> useful and simplify the configuration, for example, if we need to give many
> hostnames/addresses. Here is an example:
> {noformat}
> <name>http.robot.rules.whitelist</name>
> <value>*.sample.com</value>
> <description>Comma separated list of hostnames or IP addresses to ignore
> robot rules parsing for. Use with care and only if you are explicitly
> allowed by the site owner to ignore the site's robots.txt!
> </description>
> </property>
> {noformat}
