Andrzej Bialecki  closed NUTCH-56:
----------------------------------

    Resolution: Fixed

Applied. I changed the name of the property to follow an already existing 
"http.robots.*" hierarchy.

Thanks!

> If a 403 error is encountered when trying to access the robots.txt file, 
> Nutch does not crawl any pages from that site.  This behavior is consistent 
> with the RFC recommendation for the robot exclusion protocol.  
> However, Google does crawl sites that exhibit this type of behavior, because 
> most webmasters of these sites are unaware of robots.txt conventions and do 
> want their site to be crawled.
