----------------------------------------
Hi Jukka:
Thanks for the explanation. Well, in order for Tika to be useful in Nutch in an
out-of-the-box fashion (without having any special mime utility code in Nutch),
we need it to have the ability to handle mime types returned from the server,
in the form of:
<primary type>/<sub type> ; <optional additional parameters>
So, a perfect example of this would to to take the string:
"text/html; charset=UTF-8"
And then "clean" it to parse out the mime type portion, "text/html", and drop
the optional params. I suppose one could make the argument that this is a
web-specific feature, so it belongs in Nutch, however, I'm not positive that
this only occurs in the web. Thoughts?
Cheers,
Chris

> Key: TIKA-121
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-121
> Project: Tika
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: mime
> Affects Versions: 0.1-incubating
> Reporter: Chris A. Mattmann
> Assignee: Chris A. Mattmann
> Fix For: 0.2-incubating
>
>
> For some reason, in r591743
> (http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?rev=591743&view=rev), the MimeType.clean
> functionality was removed and never replaced. This is a problem because that
> functionality was somewhat necessary as I'm running into the problem of
> trying to upgrade Nutch to tika-0.1-incubating and Nutch relied on
> MimeType.clean.
> I've been scratching my head trying to determine an appropriate workaround
> for the same capability within the tika-0.1-incubating code, but have yet to
> find one. This functionality needs to be replaced in some form or fashion,
> or, if someone knows of a simple way to achieve the same functionality,
> please let me know.
