[issue13281] robotparser.RobotFileParser ignores rules preceeded by a blank line

[Petri Lehtinen]

Petri Lehtinen <petri at digip.org> added the comment:

Blank lines are allowed according to the specification at http://www.robotstxt.org/norobots-rfc.txt, section 3.3 Formal Syntax.

The issue also seems to exist on 3.2 and 3.3.
