18841	Sites with default permalinks do not return 'robots.txt'	mbijon		"Currently there is no .htaccess file when Permalinks are on the default (ie: /?p=123) setting.

Without an .htaccess file Apache does not direct requests for non-existent files to WordPress. Directing the request to WP is needed so the 'do_robots' or 'do_robotstxt' actions can respond with the rules set by the user in Permalink Settings.
* Servers other than Apache likely have the same problem, but I have not tested them
* This occurs in 3.2.1 and 3.3

I've marked severity 'major' since this undermines the Privacy Settings panel & may not meet user expectations. Please modify if this is not appropriate."	defect (bug)	closed	normal		Permalinks	3.3	minor	invalid	2nd-opinion dev-feedback close	mbijon
