If you pass the resource name as you are doing in it will be fed into Tika and 
used as a hint for Mime Type detection.  I assume it was Mime Type detection 
you were looking for.

The best way to see what is happening around metadata - and if what you were 
trying to pass has made it - is to look at the results of what happens in 
Extract Only mode[1].
