There is a non-standard robots.txt tag Crawl-delay in the non-standard robots.txt file that limits the rate at which some bots crawl a site. At least yahoo and msft honour this. We should set this in the robots.txt that ships with foswiki to prevent problems with resource usage by crawlers hitting a foswiki site.


is this completed for trunk??

It is in trunk and was there before we created the branch. Closing.
