Better detection of plain text versus binary formats with a text header
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: TIKA-154
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-154
Project: Tika
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: mime
Reporter: Jukka Zitting
Priority: Minor
Antoni Mylka noted on the mailing list:
Many binary formats begin with magic byte sequences composed of ASCII
characters, e.g.
zipfiles begin with PK
pdfs begin with %PDF-
chms help files begin with ITSF
etc.
Tika should do a better job of detecting such cases.
