Hello,
The buildbots are sometimes subject to a flood of "svn exception"
errors. It has been conjectured that these errors are caused by Web
crawlers pressing "force build" buttons without filling any of the
fields (of course, the fact that we get such ugly errors in the
buildbot results, rather than a clean error message when pressing
the button, is a buildbot bug in itself). Couldn't we simply exclude
all
crawlers from the buildbot Web pages?
Most (all?) legitimate crawlers won't submit forms. Do you think
there's a non-form link to the force build URL (which _will_ accept a
GET request to mean the same thing as a POST)?
One thing I have noticed is that spammers find these forms and submit
them with garbage. We can probably suppose that such people are going
to ignore a robots.txt file.
