---------------------------------
Summary: tika-server shouldn't throw an exception for a
non-supported format
Key: TIKA-2979
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-2979
Project: Tika
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Tim Allison
tika-server throws an UnsupportedMediaTypeException if there is no parser for a
given format. This prevents users from getting the mime type and any digests
that were computed on the stream. Further this is different behavior than
tika-app where we rely on the EmptyParser to do nothing.
Is there a need for this exception?
Would it be too great a change to turn off this behavior? If it would be, any
recommendations for the commandline switch to turn it off?
