Florent ANDRE commented on DROIDS-105: -------------------------------------- Thanks for pointing this. Did you see a way to change the final status of contentLoader in HttpProtocol ? You cachingContentLoader class can be use inside droids ? If yes can you provide a patch from the project's root ? It's more expressive and understandable that an attached class. ++ > missing caching for robots.txt > ------------------------------ > > Key: DROIDS-105 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DROIDS-105 > Project: Droids > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: core > Reporter: Paul Rogalinski > Attachments: CachingContentLoader.java > > > the current implementation of the HttpClient will not cache any requests to > the robots.txt file.
