> Key: NUTCH-2573

> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: fetcher
> Affects Versions: 1.14
> Reporter: Sebastian Nagel
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 1.17
>
>
> Fetcher should optionally (by default) suspend crawling by a configurable
> interval when fetching the robots.txt fails with a server errors (HTTP status
> code 5xx, esp. 503) following [Google's spec|
> https://developers.google.com/search/reference/robots_txt#handling-http-result-codes]:
> ??5xx (server error)??
> ??Server errors are seen as temporary errors that result in a "full disallow"
> of crawling. The request is retried until a non-server-error HTTP result code
> is obtained. A 503 (Service Unavailable) error will result in fairly frequent
> retrying. To temporarily suspend crawling, it is recommended to serve a 503
> HTTP result code. Handling of a permanent server error is undefined.??
> Crawler-commons robots rules already provide
