Abstract

The Robots Exclusion Protocol defined in [RFC9309] specifies the user-agent rule for targeting automatic clients either by prefix matching their self-defined product token or by a global rule * that matches all clients. This document extends [RFC9309] by defining a new rule for targeting automatic clients based on the clients' purpose for accessing the service.
