I may have time to do this.  I would definitely have time to review a patch ;).

Please open a ticket on our Jira.

Ok, subject to the two security safeguards discussed, if people are ok with 
this, please can the 'fileUrl' functionality be schedules to be added back in 
the next release ?

Makes sense.  I agree; I don't want a full fledged security layer.

Tim, both methods complicate automated tika-server usage (e.g. as service) 
since they require user interaction when starting server (or parsing stdout to 
share that uuid with downstream services).

Do we really want to bring full-fledged security layer in tika-server with 
something like api keys? I'm not familar with CXF, so might overestimate 
diffuculty of adding such layer.

My implicit assumption was that tika-server is mostly solution to quick start, 
easy evaluation and quick&dirty service for light load, not a service which you 
expose on external server port ever. From this perspective we at least should 
prevent user from making unintentional security hole for which two flags may be 
sufficient.

Of course, I could be wrong and some of our users may use it exposed to the 
wild Internet/dmz/intranet. But such usage allows malice user to make DoS 
attack with ease.
