Robots.txt block access to all https:// pages [closed]

Question

What would the syntax be to block all access to any bots to https:// pages? I have an old site that now doesn't have an SSL and I want to block access to all https:// pages

Answer 1

I don’t know if it works, if the robots use/request different robots.txt for different protocols. But you could deliver a different robots.txt for requests over HTTPS.

So when http://example.com/robots.txt is requested, you deliver the normal robots.txt. And when https://example.com/robots.txt is requested, you deliver the robots.txt that disallows everything.
