Daniel Bonniot de Ruisselet commented on TIKA-539:
--------------------------------------------------
I agree with Ken's comment from 05/Nov/10 21:35, detection should only be used
when the declared information is incorrect (saving time and avoiding wrong
detection).
"A similar approach (excluding meta tags) should be used by the TXTParser."
Agreed. I'm just seeing a case where "Indanyl" is recognized as IBM500, when
even "UTF-8" is specified. Should a separate taks be opened for that?
> Encoding detection is too biased by encoding in meta tag

> Project: Tika
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: metadata, parser
> Affects Versions: 0.8, 0.9, 0.10
> Reporter: Reinhard Schwab
> Assignee: Ken Krugler
> Fix For: 1.1

> if the encoding in the meta tag is wrong, this encoding is detected,
> even if there is the right encoding set in metadata before(which can be from
> http response header).
> test code to reproduce:
> static String content = "<html><head>\n"
> + "<meta http-equiv=\"content-type\"
> content=\"application/xhtml+xml; charset=iso-8859-1\" />"
> + "</head><body>Über den Wolken\n</body></html>";

> public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException, SAXException,
> TikaException {
> Metadata metadata = new Metadata();
> metadata.set(Metadata.CONTENT_TYPE, "text/html");

> System.out.println(metadata.get(Metadata.CONTENT_ENCODING));
