Tim Allison commented on TIKA-1513:
-----------------------------------
[~nicholasc], do you, by chance, have any shareable examples of files that
don't start with 0x03, e.g. Visual FoxPro, dBase IV, etc? Any shareable
examples of .dbt (memo) files? Thank you, again for the mime-detection regex!
How do we want to handle detecting the variants?
Option 1: replicate the above regex for each variant and change the first byte?
With parent mime-type "application/x-dbf"?
Option 2: send them all to the DBFParser, and that will update the mime type.
How do we want to represent the variants via the mime, e.g. 0x30 Visual FoxPro:
"application/x-dbf; Visual FoxPro"
> Add mime detection and parsing for dbf files
