I agree with dns-zone-transfer. The reason for robots.txt was for the
output:

80/tcp  open   http    syn-ack
|  robots.txt: has 156 disallowed entries (40 shown)
|  /news?output=xhtml& /search /groups /images /catalogs

Other possible outputs are

80/tcp  open   http    syn-ack
|  http-robots: has 156 disallowed entries (40 shown)
|  /news?output=xhtml& /search /groups /images /catalogs

and

80/tcp  open   http    syn-ack
|  http-robots: robots.txt has 156 disallowed entries (40 shown)
|  /news?output=xhtml& /search /groups /images /catalogs

Which of these do you prefer? I agree it's more consistent to start that
script name with "http".
