Rapster commented on TIKA-1217:
-------------------------------
Any news on this? We're using TikaFileTypeDetector SPI to later on check if a
file truly belong to a certain mime type. But as of today, it checks on
extension first which is a real problem. Would it be possible to expose another
FileTypeDetector (not necessarily SPI but at least an impl. which only return
mime type base on content and nothing else)
> Integrate with Java-7 FileTypeDetector API

> It would be useful if Tika natively provided Java-7 FileTypeDetector [1]
> implementations. Adding the corresponding
> META-INF/services/java.nio.file.spi.FileTypeDetector files would allow the
> use of Files.probeContentType [2] without any specific links to Tika for this
> functionality.
> If you do not want to rely on Java-7 for the core, then this could be added
> as an extension module.
