It violates the robots.txt much less than eg, wget. wget (in non-recursive behaviour, never following any link) downloads only the URLs you tell it too, so according to the same argument, doesn't violate robots.txt . In recursive mode (following links), wget respects robots.txt (by default). -- Lionel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

It should now have a permanent address at bts2ldap.debian.net, so at least the moving around should be part of the history. However, sadly, it's still only project and not product quality. Any help on that would be welcome. Cheers, Andi -- http://home.arcor.de/andreas-barth/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

The LDAP interface is not production quality enough to be used by anything IMHO. It seems to be down or moved to somewhere else half the time. We (devscripts maints) have had to switch other programs (tagpending) away from using it due to these problems. Using the cache would be good, except it's only available to debian developers via ssh. > Additionally, the robots.txt is being violated by "bts cache", so > perhaps someone should file a bug. "bts cache" is not a web spider, it only downloads the bugs that you tell it to. It violates the robots.txt much less than eg, wget. -- see shy jo

In article <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> you write: >(this mail was CC'ed to debian-admin but I messed up in the To field) [EMAIL PROTECTED] would be the correct place to send this. >Since yesterday, I'm afraid that my IP address 81.56.227.253 is listed >on bugs.debian.org among addresses which get a "Go away" answer when >requesting a specific bug report (http://bugs.debian.org/xx) And as of about 9 hours ago the listing was removed. >>From discussions I had on IRC with Anthony Towns, this seems to be >caused by numerous requests made by my system to the BTS at regular >intervals. The BTS web pages are NOT designed to be abused like that. We've had cases where a single IP drove the load average of spohr over 80 and basicly shut down all bug processing for hours. As most of the obvious cases where many requests are being made to the BTS web look like spammers harvesting email addresses, I've been blocking systems from accessing the BTS more lately. If you need to access the BTS data from a program, there is an LDAP interface available and a copy of entire BTS database on one of the developer accessable machines. >Is there something I can do for getting my address unlisted (apart >from again reducing the load I put on b.d.o...which I did again down >to the lowest acceptable refresh rate on my side)? [EMAIL PROTECTED] is the proper place to send your request. If you can't use one of the program intfaces listed above for some reason, put a 5 second sleep between the completion of one request and sending the next. That spreads the load out and gives others a chance to access the BTS. -- Blars Blarson [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.blars.org/blars.html With Microsoft, failure is not an option.

There is a BTS mirror on merkel. Maybe you could mirror the bug reports you are interested in from there? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
