Chris A. Mattmann commented on TIKA-879: ---------------------------------------- This is still open and we have a patch ready and available for TIKA-1602 - I am going to commit that patch (once updated with my comments from Github). Waiting for a more general solution is great, but if we have a patch that works at least in limited cases, my preference is to include that contribution and then improve later. > Detection problem: message/rfc822 file is detected as text/plain. > ----------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: TIKA-879 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-879 > Project: Tika > Issue Type: Bug > Components: metadata, mime > Affects Versions: 1.0, 1.1, 1.2 > Environment: linux 3.2.9 > oracle jdk7, openjdk7, sun jdk6 > Reporter: Konstantin Gribov > Labels: new-parser > Attachments: TIKA-879-thunderbird.eml, mime_diffs_A_to_B.html > > > When using {{DefaultDetector}} mime type for {{.eml}} files is different (you > can test it on {{testRFC822}} and {{testRFC822_base64}} in > {{tika-parsers/src/test/resources/test-documents/}}). > Main reason for such behavior is that only magic detector is really works for > such files. Even if you set {{CONTENT_TYPE}} in metadata or some {{.eml}} > file name in {{RESOURCE_NAME_KEY}}. > As I found {{MediaTypeRegistry.isSpecializationOf("message/rfc822", > "text/plain")}} returns {{false}}, so detection by {{MimeTypes.detect(...)}} > works only by magic. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
