Anthony,

You probably wanna contact support - I don't know the answer.

I'm sending my reply to this message in case it didn't come across.

Yes, the site is protected. We're using Metadata and URL feeds. The GSA is doing the crawling. The Crawler Access has been configured and seems to be working properly. PDFs and DOC files are getting indexed just fine. The exact error we're getting is "Error: Other 4xx HTTP response code." This error is only happening on image files (PNG, JPEG, GIF, etc...).

Any ideas?

Have you tried to access the same URL from a browser? Does it work?

Thanks for the reply Jeff. We've commented out the lines pertaining to images (jpeg, gif, png, etc...) in the crawl exception patterns. The GSA is now trying to crawl them but we're getting a *Error: Other 4xx HTTP Response Code* (or something along those lines). The items are still not searchable. Is there something more I need to do GSA wise or something I might be missing in our connector implementation by any chance?

You could definitely do that - make sure the files with image extensions are not excluded from the "Crawl & Index" exclusion patterns - by default they are.

I forgot to mention the most important part! This is for connector development. We have images coming out of our repository with metadata attached to them and we'd like them to be searchable based on those metadata values.

Hey Folks,

Is there a way to "crawl" images only for metadata? We understand that an image can't be full-text indexed but we're still sending metadata information on the images that we'd still like to search on. Any help would be appreciated!
