Peter May updated TIKA-874:
---------------------------
Attachment: fits_support.patch
This patch identifies FITS files, based on the signature used by the file(1)
command and also specified in RFC4047 (http://fits.gsfc.nasa.gov/rfc4047.txt).
It includes a simple unit test (added to TestMimeTypes) using a FITS file
available at http://fits.gsfc.nasa.gov/nrao_data/tests/nost_headers/good.fits
I cannot see any noticeable license restrictions on these sample FITS files;
there is a contact email address shown on
http://fits.gsfc.nasa.gov/fits_nraodata.html where we might be able to get
further advice.
Advice/comments welcome on the best approach forward, especially regarding the
unit test sample file.

>
> Tika does not have a defined signature for application/fits files. I have
> created a patch (based on file(1) magic) to address identification of such
> files, including a simple unit test.
> This patch only handles identification, not parsing of FITS files.
