> Nutch would benefit from having a host normalizer. A host normalizer maps a
> given host to the desired host. A basic example is to map www.apache.org to
> apache.org. The Apache website is one of many on the internet that has a
> duplicate website on the same domain just because it allows both www and
> non-www to return HTTP 200 and proper content.
> It is also able to handle wildcards such as *.example.org to example.org if
> there are multiple sub domains that actually point to the same website.
> Large internet crawls tend to get polluted very quickly due to these
> problems. It also leads to skewed scores in the webgraph as different
> websites link to different versions of the same duplicate website.
