Nick Burch commented on TIKA-1335:
----------------------------------
I don't think we're going to be able to write mime matchers that reliably
detect CSV, not least because there's so many variants of it (tab? comma?
quoted? double quoted? escaped?)
> mime type for CSV files incorrectly detected as text/plain

> Key: TIKA-1335
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-1335
> Project: Tika
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: mime
> Affects Versions: 1.5, 1.6
> Reporter: Kaijian Xu
> Assignee: Chris A. Mattmann
> Attachments: CDEC_WEATHER_2010_03_02, foo.csv, velocity.csv

> Mime type autodetection returns "text/plain" for CSV files, for example:
> % tika -m foo.csv
> Content-Encoding: ISO-8859-1
> Content-Length: 78
> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1
> resourceName: foo.csv
> This occurs regardless of whether the filename has the appropriate *.csv
> extension or not.
