The solution using htaccess
# Redirecting the robots.txt file for htaccess to stop https crawling to avoid duplicate content.
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 443 [NC]
RewriteRule ^robots.txt$ robots_ssl.txt [L]
There are other ways of solving it too like
< ?php
if ($_SERVER["SERVER_PORT"] == 443)
{
echo "< meta name=" robots " content=" noindex,nofollow " > “;
}
?>
You can even do canonicalization but it is not always possible as you want both the urls to be accessible.

Great Videos! You mention to run your site through a webmaster tool to see how it’s reading the robots.txt files, do you have a tool you would recommend to use?
Thanks!
Hi Miles, great to have your comment.
Google provides webmaster tools, it is really great, you can check and verify in detail. https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/ (create an account if you haven’t)
