[Archive-access-discuss] Resource Index Exclusions

[Ignacio G. <igc...@gm...>]

Hello,

I have a question regarding the Resource Index Exclusions,

I want to create a manual list of URLs that should not be exposed by
wayback. As far as I understand by reading the online user manual, I have to
point the option "adminexclusion.dbpath" to the location where my exclusion
list is.
My question is: what format does the BDB exclusion file has and how can I
create it.

The command line tools included with wayback let you maintain BDB files or
create CDX files, but nowhere it says anything about creating new BDB files
based on a list of URLs.
How would I create a exclusion list that will hold the following urls:

http://www.foo.com/private/
http://www.foo.com/extras/secure/
http://www.example.com/

In this case I want to hide all URLs from the domain example.com and all
files URLs under the private and extras/secure directories in the foo.comdomain.
Is that possible? Do I have to specify absolute URLs on the exclusion list?

Thank you.
