Provide a MimeUtils.getType(URL) method that will determine MIME type based on
the stream and, if necessary, the name.

Key: TIKA-75
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-75
Project: Tika
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: general
Affects Versions: 0.1-incubator
Reporter: Keith R. Bennett
Priority: Minor
Fix For: 0.1-incubator
We have a MimeUtils method that returns a MIME type based solely on the name.
It would be very helpful to also have a method that examines the header as
well. I've added a method (patch coming) that does this. It opens a stream
from the URL, reads the header, closes the stream, and then calls the existing
method.
This may not be usable in the course of parsing, since it violates our decision
to read a stream only once. However, it is very useful as a way to test our
MIME type determination, and as a non-parse service to our users (as recently
discussed on the forum).
