Subj : exec/txt_handler.js To : Git commit to main/sbbs/master From : Rob Swindell (on Debian Linux) Date : Thu Jun 04 2026 19:01:13 https://gitlab.synchro.net/main/sbbs/-/commit/3b577bc35cbed5e6200f16ed Modified Files: exec/txt_handler.js Log Message: txt_handler.js: serve robots.txt as text/plain, not the HTML viewer The .txt web handler wrapped every *.txt request (including /robots.txt) in the HTML "LIST"-style viewer, returning Content-Type: text/html. A robots.txt served as HTML is unparseable by crawlers, which then treat the site as having no robots.txt and crawl everything -- defeating the file entirely. Serve robots.txt as raw text/plain (same path as the existing ?raw output), while still rendering all other *.txt in the HTML viewer.
