406: Not Acceptable (encoding)

Discussion in 'robots.txt' started by mjonsson, Nov 9, 2005.

    I just added a robots.txt to the root of my domain, but my logs report a few 406: Not Acceptable (encoding) on the robots.txt file everyday.

    I have validated the file with a couple of robots.txt vaildators and everything seems fine with it.

    Why do I get these errors in my logs?

    It might be of interest that I used to get about 50 or so 404 errors/day before I added it, now I get about 5 or so 406 errors/day instead...

    regards

    Magnus

    Make sure that your robots.txt file is created using a plain text editor like Notepad and that it is saved in ASCII/ANSI format, not unicode or anything else.
