**Description:**
The RecursiveUrlLoader loader offers a link_regex parameter that can
filter out URLs. However, this filtering capability is limited, and if
the internal links of the website change, unexpected resources may be
loaded. These resources, such as font files, can cause problems in
subsequent embedding processing.

We can add the Content-Type in the HTTP response headers to the document
metadata so developers can choose which resources to use. This allows
developers to make their own choices.
For example, the following may be a good choice for text knowledge.
- text/plain - simple text file
- text/html - HTML web page
- text/xml - XML format file
- text/json - JSON format data
- application/pdf - PDF file
- application/msword - Word document
and ignore the following
- text/css - CSS stylesheet
- text/javascript - JavaScript script
- application/octet-stream - binary data
- image/jpeg - JPEG image
- image/png - PNG image
- image/gif - GIF image
- image/svg+xml - SVG image
- audio/mpeg - MPEG audio files
- video/mp4 - MP4 video file
- application/font-woff - WOFF font file
- application/font-ttf - TTF font file
- application/zip - ZIP compressed file
- application/octet-stream - binary data

RecursiveUrlLoader does not currently provide an option to set
`base_url` other than the `url`, though it uses a function with such an
option.
For example, this causes it unable to parse the
`https://python.langchain.com/docs`, as it returns the 404 page, and
`https://python.langchain.com/docs/get_started/introduction` has no
child routes to parse.
`base_url` allows setting the `https://python.langchain.com/docs` to
filter by, while the starting URL is anything inside, that contains
relevant links to continue crawling.
I understand that for this case, the docusaurus loader could be used,
but it's a common issue with many websites.
