> Earlier we had a small network glitch which prevented
us from retrieving
> the robots.txt file for a site we were crawling at the
time:
>        
nutch-root-tasktracker-sbider1.sitebuildit.com.log:051005
193021
>         task_m_h02y5t  Couldn't get robots.txt for
>         http://w
ww.japanesetranslator.co.uk/translation/:
>        
org.apache.commons.httpclient.ConnectTimeoutException: The
host
>         did not accept the connection within timeout of
10000 ms
> Nutch then assumed that because we were unable to
retrieve the file due
> to network issues, that it didn't exist and we could
crawl the entire
> website. Nutch then successfully grabbed a few pages
which were listed
> in the robots.txt as being disallowed.
> I think Nutch should continue attempting to retrieve
the robots.txt file
> until, at very least, we are able to establish a
connection to the host,
> otherwise the host should be ignored until the next
round of fetches.
> The webmaster of japanesetranslator.co.uk filed a
complaint informing us
> of the issue.
