Catch & report invalid robots.txt rules that include domain name in the URL path #20

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
Specifically catch cases of people putting http://<domain> or <domain> as part 
of the path.

There's the question of what we do in that case, if the domain matches the 
domain used to fetch the robots.txt file. I think we should try to honor the 
intent of the rule, which means pretending like the author of the file didn't 
mess up the syntax.
