----------------------------------------
Summary: Detect corrupted XML files as application/xml instead of
text/plain
Key: TIKA-3596
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-3596
Project: Tika
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: detector
Affects Versions: 2.1.0, 1.27
Reporter: Luís Filipe Nassif
There is a logic in MimeTypes class to return text/plain for corrupted xml
files not detected as text/html here:
https://github.com/apache/tika/blob/324f2f2ccff21c608969e2e79da88e71379a58dc/tika-core/src/main/java/org/apache/tika/mime/MimeTypes.java#L281
I think this should be changed to return application/xml, even if the file is
corrupted, like is done for all other mimetypes, being more consistent across
file formats. Even if a jpg or doc file is corrupted, image/jpg or
application/msword is returned.
I have about ~2k from ~90k xml files in an internal corpus that trigger this.
If other fellow devs agree, I can submit a patch and unit test.
