Alex Ott commented on TIKA-447:
-------------------------------
2Nick: does this will allow to implement support for self-extracted archives?
Because, if we'll implement this as separate checker, then we'll need to
implement archive extraction/detection inside this checker - this could lead to
code duplication.
> 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
