Henning Gross commented on TIKA-573:
------------------------------------
Well the consumer is a portlet which allows uploads of files by clients. All we
get is a CommonsMultiPartFile -instance containing a stream which gets
evaluated by our component which uses tika to get the Mime-Type and check if
this mime type is allowed. We also have the OriginalFileName-field. Now we know
that we have a file with a valid mime type and ANY extension. Next the portlet
shall check if the original file has an extension which matches the mime type.
For this purpose we need ALL extensions known to be related to the mime type.
