Couple of questions about robots and content blocking
Bots don’t care about your internal server-side system (well, they can’t see it to begin with). They visit your website just like a human visitor: by following links (from your own site, from external sites, from your sitemap etc.), and some might possibly also "guess" URLs. So what matters are...
allowing certain urls and deny the rest with robots.txt
Your snippet looks OK, just don't forget to add a User-Agent at the top. The order of the allow/disallow keywords doesn't matter currently, but it's up to the client to make the correct choice. See Order of precedence for group-member records section in our Robots.txt documentation. [...] for allow and...

Is the beginning of a path enough in robots.txt?
In short, yes. If you have: User-agent: * Disallow: /abc It will block anything that starts with /abc, including: /abc /abc.html /abc/def/ghi /abcdefghi /abc?x=123 This is part of the original robots.txt standard, and it applies to all robots that obey robots.txt. The thing to remember about robots.txt is that it's...

Ok, I found the issue. I was correct in assuming that txt needed to be added to the allowed extensions for the Sitecore.Pipelines.PreprocessRequest.FilterUrlExtensions setting.
