Comments

  • The FULL URL to the DSpace sitemaps
  • The ${dspace.url} will be auto-filled with the value in dspace.cfg
  • XML sitemap is listed first as it is preferred by most search engines
  • Default Access Group
  • (NOTE: blank lines are not allowable in a group record)
  • Disable access to Discovery search and filters
  • Optionally uncomment the following line ONLY if sitemaps are working
  • and you have verified that your site is being indexed correctly.
  • Disallow: /browse
  • If you have configured DSpace (Solr-based) Statistics to be publicly
  • accessible, then you may not want this content to be indexed
  • Disallow: /statistics
  • You also may wish to disallow access to the following paths, in order
  • to stop web spiders from accessing user-based content
  • Disallow: /contact
  • Disallow: /feedback
  • Disallow: /forgot
  • Disallow: /login
  • Disallow: /register
  • Section for misbehaving bots
  • The following directives to block specific robots were borrowed from Wikipedia's robots.txt
  • advertising-related bots:
  • Crawlers that are kind enough to obey, but which we'd rather not have
  • unless they're feeding search engines.
  • Some bots are known to be trouble, particularly those designed to copy
  • entire sites. Please obey robots.txt.
  • Misbehaving: requests much too fast:
  • If your DSpace is going down because of someone using recursive wget,
  • you can activate the following rule.
  • If your own faculty is bringing down your dspace with recursive wget,
  • you can advise them to use the --wait option to set the delay between hits.
  • User-agent: wget
  • Disallow: /
  • The 'grub' distributed client has been *very* poorly behaved.
  • Doesn't follow robots.txt anyway, but...
  • Hits many times per second, not acceptable
  • http://www.nameprotect.com/botinfo.html
  • A capture bot, downloads gazillions of pages with no public benefit
  • http://www.webreaper.net/
