Stefan Bodewig resolved COMPRESS-171. ------------------------------------- Resolution: Fixed fixed with svn revision 1237475 > createArchiveInputStream detects text files less than 100 bytes as tar > archives > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: COMPRESS-171 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COMPRESS-171 > Project: Commons Compress > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Archivers > Affects Versions: 1.2, 1.3 > Environment: Windows 7/JDK 1.6 > Reporter: Daniel Lowe > Labels: detection, tar > Fix For: 1.4 > > Original Estimate: 1h > Remaining Estimate: 1h > > The fix for COMPRESS-117 which modified > ArchiveStreamFactory().createArchiveInputStream(inputstream) results in short > text files (empirically seems to be those <= 100 bytes) being detected as tar > archives which obviously is not desirable if one wants to know whether or not > the files are archives. > I'm not an expert on compressed archives but perhaps the heuristic that if a > stream is interpretable as a tar file without an exception being thrown > should only be applied on archives greater than 100 bytes? -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
