Hi,

I am attempting to merge some Nutch changes back to our own. We aren't using 
Nutch' CrawlerCommons impl but the old stuff. But because of recording of 
response time and rudimentary SSL support i decided to move it back to our 
version. Suddenly i realized a local crawl does not work anymore, it seems 
because of the order of the robots definitions.

For example:

User-agent: *
Disallow: /

User-agent: our_crawler
Allow: /

Does not allow our crawler to fetch URL's. But

User-agent: our_crawler
Allow: /

User-agent: *
Disallow: /

Does! This was not the case before, anyone here aware of this? By design? Or is 
it a flaw?

Thanks
Markus
