Here are few questions I had about crawl-urlfilter.txt.

-          Does Nutch obey crawl-urlfilter.txt properly? By default, it is set 
to not download css, but when I do the crawl, I do see parse.ParseUtil 
exceptions in my Hadoop.log (org.apache.nutch.parse.ParseException: parser not 
found for contentType=text/css)
Doesn't this mean that Nutch has actually downloaded a css file and is trying 
to parse it?


-          Can I put a positive filter in crawl-urlfilter.txt? Like

+\.(html, htm)

Instead of current one which starts with "-"? Will it make Nutch only download 
files with extension htm and html?



-          Are the extensions in crawl-urlfilter.txt case sensitive or not?  
i.e. do I have to add mp3, MP3, Mp3 to tell Nutch to not to download mp3 files?



-          How does Nutch handle URLs which are GET but does not end with 
extension? i.e. if there is a URL like http://www.mysite.com/images/1 which 
returns an image, will Nutch be able to identify it and avoid it's download?

TIA,
