Funny, now they serve a different robots.txt:

# cat robots.txt.8-17 # robots.txt Tagsueber von 8-17 Uhr # Disallow robots thru 17 User-agent: kmcrawler Disallow: User-agent: * Disallow: / Disallow: *ROOT=1161830$ Disallow: */servlet/PB/-s/*

Apart from that, I'm not sure about the ROOT and servlet lines. They look like patterns and not like URL path prefixes. Robots don't have to implement pattern matching, and most probably don't, even if Google's does. So many robots may consider this lines junk, and simply ignore them.

With the 17-8 robots.txt, only EmailCollector and GagaRobot are excluded from the entire site, and all other robots are expected to avoid only URLs containing the ROOT and servlet patterns. Robot without a pattern matching engine will see that two lines as junk and ignore them.

With the 8-17 robots.txt, only kmcrawler is allowed, all other robots have to avoid the site.

From the text fragments it is obvious that you are expected to spider only in the night, and that you should behave. Don't collect e-mail addresses, don't waste server resources, don't cause large server load.

There is an imprint claiming some (equivalents of) copyrights, especially non-private use of the layout and the content is prohibited, except for press releases. There is also a contact page that you should use when in doubt.


Rough translations of the text fragments:

von 17-8 Uhr
from 17:00 to 08:00 (local time in Germany, I think)
email Sammler draussenbleiben
e-mail collector(s) stay outside
Robots die durchdrehen fliegen raus
robots running amok are kicked out
Tagsueber von 8-17 Uhr
during the day from 08:00 to 17:00

In reply to Re^5: getting LWP and HTML::TokeParser to run by afoken
in thread getting started with LWP and HTML::TokeParser by Perlbeginner1

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
