             Summary: Protocol-okhttp: implement IP filter
                 Key: NUTCH-2930
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NUTCH-2930
             Project: Nutch
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: plugin, protocol, security
    Affects Versions: 1.18
            Reporter: Sebastian Nagel
             Fix For: 1.19


In order to avoid information leakage to a public search index or web archive, 
it should be possible to configure Nutch in a way that no content is fetched 
from localhost, loop-back addresses, private address spaces.

NUTCH-2527 adds the configuration snippets to exclude URLs pointing to private 
addresses. 

However, filtering URLs isn't enough because a DNS entry of an arbitrary host 
name may point to a private IP address. Blocking must happen on the protocol 
level because the IP address is only know in the protocol implementation. I'll 
add an implementation for protocol-okhttp.
