Not sure what is wrong. I tried to set this on an individual topic:

   * Set HTTP_EQUIV_ON_VIEW =  <meta name="robots" content="noindex,nofollow" />

It has no effect. The setting is not listed in the FINALPREFERENCES, so this is not the cause. Discovered in Item1256.

If you look at the HTML source of this topic, the value of HTTP_EQUIV_ON_VIEW should be listed in the header (it contains just a noindex, from {AntiSpam}{RobotsAreWelcome} ?)

See also related Item1292.

I just tried this on my home system (DEVELOP branch, all plugins installed, default plugins enabled), and it works just fine, in pattern and classic skins. it also works in http://develop.twiki.org/~develop/cgi-bin/view/Sandbox/TestTopic25

Did you try to set the setting in a form field, by any chance? Certainly there doesn't seem to be a setting of HTTP_EQUIV_ON_VIEW in the body text, which is where it would have to be to work.

Can't reproduce this, so discarding.

Glad it works now. Strange, it was not working yesterday here on develop.twiki.org and on my local installation. Possibly fixed by recent change.
