Doug,

I haven't seen this before and it is interesting! The robot script is
a little weak atm :| but this gave me a couple of extra feature ideas.

I'm going to commit a new version after the next stable release

thanks

Hi Eddie!

Just thought I'd send over this article about a
large-scale robots.txt survey in case you hadn't
already seen it:

Lots of interesting tidbits, as well as some ideas
for fingerprinting web frameworks and add-on packages
by commonly excluded path-names.

Also there's apparently a very common file called
info.txt that Alexa uses for site info:

Best,
