> *Problem description:* I am facing a problem with the mime type detection of
> a file. While debugging, I see that SlingTikaDetector.detect method is used
> for detecting the mime type of my file. See [1]. This method just seems to
> rely on the name of the file for detecting its mime type. Even though its
> passed an inputstream of the file, it does not seem to use it for mime type
> detection. So if my file name is something like xyz.tmp, it detects its mime
> type as application/octet-stream (the default) while it may actually be a png
> file. This is a common scenario with webdav clients wherein temporary files
> get created with such names while being edited.

> Following the discussions at SLING-1059 [1] and SLING-255 [2] I can
> infer that we more or less opted out of the 'heavy-weight' approach of
> actually parsing the input stream. Not sure if we want to revisit that
> TBH. At any rate, our MimeTypeService does not have an API for getting
> the file content based on the input stream.
> I think though there's a way around it, but only at the code level.
> The org.apache.sling.jcr.webdav.impl.helper.SlingResourceConfig class
> hardcodes the Detector implementation to be a SlingTikaDetector.
> I think it is worthwile to raise a Jira issue for this and it would
> definitely expedite the fix if you're willing to submit a patch / pull
> request. I think it can be as simple as adding a @Reference to a Tika
> Detector to the SlingWebDavServlet and then passing that to the
> SlingServletConfig.
> Cheers,
