    Hello

    I have a script that tracks downloads. The URL is in this format :

    http://www.site.com/dl.php?var1=string&var2=string

    What is the correct command to restrict bots from spidering that file using robots.txt ?
    Will "Disallow: /dl.php" be enough ?


    Thanks

    Yes. That will disallow *any* file beginning with the string "dl.php" (without the quotes).
