-----------------------------------------
+1 thanks Raimund this would be of great interest! I'll be happy to help you
shepherd it in.
> Provide a JAX-RS to detect only the mediatype
> ---------------------------------------------
>
> Key: TIKA-1047
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-1047
> Project: Tika
> Issue Type: Wish
> Components: server
> Reporter: Raimund Merkert
> Assignee: Chris A. Mattmann
> Priority: Critical
>
> Currently I can use the JAX-RS server to detect the mediatype using the meta
> endpoint. The problem I have with this is that I need to send the entire
> document to get all metadata.
> To detect the mediatype, only a few bytes are often necessary and so I'd like
> to only send, say 8K or so, to the server and let it tell me the mediatype.
> In order to accomplish this, it would be good to modify the /meta endpoint to
> address the individual fields that might be returned:
> /meta/mediatype
> /meta/author
> /meta/lastModified
> The parts currently following the path could be turned into a query
> parameter, which I think is more appropriate anyways (also easier to
> manipulate with tools like jquery).
> If sufficient data is not available, I'd just return with a BAD_REQUEST.
> If this would be of interest to TIKA, I think I could possibly implement this.
