Claude Warren commented on RAT-150:
-----------------------------------
I am working on a patch to use tika to discover the file type and map that to
our file types. It seems that Tika will give us the textual content of the
file if we ask for it. However, by default it seems to strip comments from XML
so I will have to figure out how to ask it for comments too.
> RAT should use Apache Tika to simply guess ignored [application/X] file types
> and focus on the [text/Y] family as a sensible default
