Follow-up - This is now working (sadly I'm not sure exactly why!) but I've successfully used curl (under windows) and the following examples to parse content
curl http://localhost:8080/apache-solr-1.4-dev/update/extract?extractOnly=tru e --data-binary @curl-config.pdf -H "Content-type:application/pdf" curl http://localhost:8080/apache-solr-1.4-dev/update/extract?extractOnly=tru e --data-binary @curl-config.html -H "Content-type:text/html" curl http://localhost:8080/apache-solr-1.4-dev/update/extract?extractOnly=tru e --data-binary @c:/EnterpriseSearchSummit.ppt -H "Content-type:application/vnd.ms-powerpoint" The solr-cell jar is being loaded as well as other jars from the contrib and dist directories see list below. Regarding files being located in the webapps structure - I did that because I wanted to try and keep 1.3 running under the same instance of tomcat as 1.4 and thought there might be difficulties specificing Solr Home via the tomcat java configuration. I've since removed the 1.3 instance.
