Container aware mimetype detection
----------------------------------
Key: TIKA-447
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-447
Project: Tika
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: mime
Affects Versions: 0.7
Reporter: Nick Burch
Attachments: TikaContainerDetection.patch
As discussed on the dev list, Tika should ideally have a configurable way to
process container based formats (eg zip files and ole2 files) when trying to
detect the correct mime type for a document.
This needs to be configurable, because some people won't want Tika to have to
do all the work of parsing the whole file when they're not interested in
knowing exactly what's in it
Once we have gone to the trouble of opening and parsing the container file, we
should try to keep the open container around to speed up parsing of the contents
