Ken Krugler commented on TIKA-868:
----------------------------------
Hi Daniel - using the latest Tika (trunk) I get back UTF-8 as the encoding, if
I pass in UTF-8 as the encoding in the content type, via
metadata.set(Metadata.CONTENT_TYPE, "text/plain; charset=UTF-8"); If I don't
set the CONTENT_TYPE, I get back ISO-8859-1, which also seems like the right
thing.

> With input text "Indanyl", the encoding is recognized as IBM500, even when
> "UTF-8" is specified explicitly.
> I would argue that detection should only be used when the declared
> information is incorrect (saving time and avoiding wrong detection), as
> proposed by Ken Krugler in TIKA-539.
