Hello Hugo,

Header User-Agent "AppEngine-Google; (+http://code.google.com/appengine; appid: s~page-d)" DenyAccess

brings:

hiawatha -k                         
Using /usr/local/etc/hiawatha
Reading hiawatha.conf
Syntax error in hiawatha.conf on line 325.

I dont see the error in this line, could you give me a tip?
Thank you.

Heiko

Hiawatha version: 9.8
Operating System: OpenBSD 5.6 current

The User-Agent value should be a valid regular expression pattern. Try this one:

Header User-Agent "AppEngine-Google; \(\+http:\/\/code.google.com\/appengine; appid: s~page-d\)" DenyAccess

Thanks, this is working.

I'm wondering, because this is working too:

 Header User-Agent "Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; BLEXBot/1.0; +http://webmeup-crawler.com/)" DenyAccess

But I think I have to escape the +

Thanks

I changed all entries. Thanks.

It's working because " +" is seen as one or more spaces. Use " \+" to make Hiawatha see it as a space and a plus character.

Ok, without \ the search result would be wrong.
Thanks Hugo
