Option to ignore tag: <meta name="robots" content="nofollow">

[octavsly]

If the HTML contains <meta name="robots" content="nofollow"> results in checking only one file.
I would like to keep this in my HTML but still check all the links.
--no-robots option is not working for this construct. Another option? or reuse the --no-robots?
