[Request] Add robots.txt parsing

[joshua-bn]

Would be nice to have the ability to parse robots.txt like RSS feeds. $web->robots

https://github.com/bopoda/robots-txt-parser is a library. Not sure if it is the one to use here but it seems to do the job

Yeah, that's something to consider. I would opt for https://github.com/spatie/robots-txt instead as it's better maintained. What exactly do you want to achieve with the information?

Personally, I am looking for sitemaps declared in robots.txt but I think there's also value in checking for rules for crawling.

[spekulatius]

Fair enough, that's definitely another use-case. I'll see how we can get both working
