Nick Burch commented on TIKA-2542:
----------------------------------
IIRC most web proxies and servlet runtimes top out at 8kb-16kb of HTTP headers,
so for moderately complicated documents you'll run into issues with the
Metadata being too big to fit!
Maybe the answer would be to return something like a Mime Multipart response
(similar to emails) so we can send both the Metadata and XHTML / Plain Text
safely in the same response without server/proxy limits?
> Support in tika-server for getting plain text and metadata at the same time

> It would be good to have a way to get a files plain text extracted and also
> get the metadata detected. Currently you can only get the metadata if the
> request has Accepts of text/xml or text/html but then the text in the body is
> not the plain text as it contains html elements as well.
> I propose that when requesting /tika/plain with Accepts header of text/xml,
> an xhtml document is returned with the metadata in head's meta elements and
> the plain text in the body.
