Tyler Palsulich commented on TIKA-1494:
---------------------------------------
I expanded the testing in r1646707 to make sure extraction doesn't work when an
XLS file is encrypted. But, please see TIKA-1489 for a recent discussion about
how Tika handles the "don't extract" permission of encrypted PDFs.
> 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.
