Peter Bowyer commented on TIKA-1494:
------------------------------------
I have tested with the latest trunk and it works well.
However, if I don't pass a password header, I am now able to extract meta data
and content from my encrypted PDFs without supplying a password. This only
happens via the JAXRS server and not via tika-app.jar. I haven't found my user
error yet (TIKA_PASSWORD wasn't set, and I set it to a random value to make
sure), so reporting.
> JAXRS server: allow passing PDF password in the request

> I have to extract content from encrypted PDFs. Setting the PDF password using
> the TIKA_PASSWORD environment variable works, however it only allows for one
> PDF password.
> It would be very useful to be able to pass the password in during the HTTP
> request - as a header or by some other means. This way I can run a central
> JAXRS server and extract content from all PDFs, rather than a separate server
> for each department/group that has its own password.
