what does this do?

RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} !(msnbot|slurp|googlebot) [NC]\

HTML:

i have this line in my htaccess file, what does this do?

 

it checks that the visitor is not msnbot,slurp or googllebot

 

and what does it do if it is msnbot,slurp or googllebot ?
should i take it out?

 

what is the next line in the .htaccess file ?

 

AddType text/xml .xml .xsl

 

hmm, i don't know. i have been messing around with mod rewrite lately but i haven't seen this becuase usually every

rewriteCond

Code (markup):

is followed by a rewriteRule and the rewrite rule is what happens when the condition is satisfied---i assumed your next line would be a rewriteCondition. sorry don't know more

 

ok thanks i am going to take it out
