The "if" was a tuits "if", not a technical "if" ;-)
POSTing an encoded binary document in XML will work, and it certainly will work to have Solr unencode it and parse it.
Yes, but the bits aren't there to do this (yet). And I didn't want to do a one-off hack just for our purposes.
The Lucene in Action codebase has a DocumentHandler interface that could be used for this, which has implementations for Word, PDF, HTML, RTF, and some others. It's simplistic, so it might not be of value specifically.
Do you have a pointer to the code? Thanks, -- Alan Burlison --
