Is this valid robots.txt code?

Is this valid code? I've seen it mentioned that you can add your sitemap.xml URL to your robots.txt file

http://www.napier.eclipse.co.uk/robots.txt

 

here you find all about robots.txt
http://www.robotstxt.org/
including a validator

re sitemap

correctly it is called:
sitemapindex.xml and has a precise / special format. meanwhile several major SE participate in the use of this format. see also:

howto make your sitemapindex.xml

 

I do not think that you have to use full URL

 

do you "think" or KNOW ??

i certainly have used some kind of official protocol or reference when writing my article time ago

the only official reference i find NOW is in german language from google

https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/docs/de/protocol.html

where google clearly says about

<loc>
URL der Seite. Diese URL muss mit dem Protokoll beginnen (z. B. "http")

(freely translated): URL of the page - MUST begin with "http" ......

unless you KNOW an official and better protocol definition and would like to share it HERE.

 

Your robots.txt is fine, your XML sitemap validated just fine as well, your all set.

 

My robots.txt looks like this, and the message in Google webmaster tools says: Valid sitemap reference detected - so I think it's ok.

 

yes, ur code is 100% ok
