# /robots.txt for www.sun.com #-------------------------------------------------------------------------- # Mon Feb 2 11:59:27 PST 1998, Fred Elliott # A NOTE TO THOSE WHO'D BOTHER TO LOOK AT THIS FILE: # # Bertrand Meyer's excellent "comp.risks" posting about the potential # for misusing "robots.txt" files # (http://www.eiffel.com/private/meyer/robots.html) includes a snapshot # of the contents of this file here on www.sun.com. # # In the article, Bertrand speculates that the directories listed below # contain proprietary information. Well, they don't. They do, though, # contain information that we'd prefer people register for before they # download it. # # The purpose of the "robots.txt" file is to keep these directories # from being indexed so that the average user doesn't stumble across them # while performing searches, and those that should be accessing these # directories will do so through the URL that requires them to register. # Of course, having the contents of this file advertised in "comp.risks" # diminishes its purpose. Thanks Bertrand. ;-) # # If you do actually go to the trouble of figuring out how to download # the files without registering, what you'll end up with is 1 or 2MB of # stuff that is meaningless to you unless you have purchased an # Ultra AX board from Sun. So, please do purchase an Ultra AX board, # but then you might as well use the URL you'll be given along with it. #-------------------------------------------------------------------------- # # Thu Jan 30 16:58:19 PST 1997, Fred Elliott # o Created this file to prevent indexing of one # SME directory. # User-agent: * Disallow: /sparc/SPARCengineUltraAX/download/ Disallow: /microelectronics/SPARCengineUltraAX/download/ Disallow: /javachip/SPARCengineUltraAX/download/ Disallow: /javachips/SPARCengineUltraAX/download/ Disallow: /joeroebuck/ Disallow: /*_print.html$ Disallow: /servers/bri/ Disallow: /bri/ # Java Systems files Disallow: /javastation/remotewindowing/citrix/JICAEng.zip Disallow: /javastation/remotewindowing/citrix/JavaEnt.tar
