Add support for parsing binary data in RTF files
------------------------------------------------
Key: TIKA-782
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-782
Project: Tika
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: parser
Affects Versions: 1.0
Reporter: Arjohn Kampman
Attachments: bin.patch
The current RTF parser doesn't process \bin control words yet. These control
words are followed by a specific amount of binary data. Because of this, the
RTF parser trips over some of these bytes in a number of (classified) documents.
I've implemented processing of the \bin control word, but it required of the
core parsing algorithm. IMHO, it also improved readability of the code. I hope
you will accept this patch. Please let me know if the patch requires
modifications.
Apart from the \bin code word, this patch also makes the parser stop after
reading the document-closing '}' character. In a number of files (again,
classified), the parser would include non-readable characters that appeared
after this closing brace.
