---------------------------------
Summary: Tika methods that accept a File needlessly convert it to
a URL
Key: TIKA-1722
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-1722
Project: Tika
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: core
Reporter: Yaniv Kunda
Priority: Minor
Fix For: 1.11
The following methods:
- Tika.detect(File)
- Tika.parse(File)
- Tika.parseToString(File)
Convert the given File to a URL and use the corresponding overloaded method
that accepts a URL.
This seems like a shortcut, but essentially does the following:
# Converts the file to a URI
# Converts the URI to a URL
# Calls TikaInputStream.get(URL, Metadata), which then performs the following
special handling:
# Checks if the protocol is "file"
# Tries to convert the URL (back) to a URI
# Creates a File around the URI
# Checks if file.isFile()
# Calls TikaInputStream.get(File, Metadata)
The special handling in TikaInputStream.get(URL/URI) is a good optimization for
in-the-wild file resources, but for internal uses it can be skipped - making
Tika call TikaInputStream.get(File, Metadata) directly.
