Felix Meschberger commented on SLING-1059:
------------------------------------------
This is probably wrong ;-)
Sling's WebDAV is using Sling's MIME Type service to resolve names to mime
types and the mime type list of the Sling MIME type service is based on the
MIME types list maintained by Roy Fielding for the http project. So this is
list is probably the best maintained list.
The problem of tika is, that it is all but lean -- in fact it is quite heavy
weight, at least the last time I looked at it. In addition, I see no added
functionality in tika, either -- except for a few non-standard (read "private")
mime types for RAW image formats. In fact the Sling MIME type service is
extensible enough to add the missing tika-specific name-to-type mappings as an
extension to the Sling MIME type service.
So -1 to using tika for now.

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-1059
> Project: Sling
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Lars Trieloff
> Priority: Minor
>
> Sling's WebDAV servlet currently has its own Mime Type detection mechanism.
> Given that Tika is a dependency of the soon to be added Jackrabbit 2.0 we can
> re-use Tika's Mime Type detection mechanism for greater accuracy and a better
> maintained list of mimetype-extension-mappings.
