Alexander Klimetschek commented on SLING-1059:
----------------------------------------------
I think the major improvement Tika would bring is mime-type detection based on
the the binary (magic bytes etc.) instead of just the file extension to mime
type mapping, which fails, if people assign wrong extensions or if it's a
unspecific container format.
> Mime Type Detection for WebDAV should use Apache Tika
> -----------------------------------------------------

> Key: SLING-1059
> 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.
