Nick Burch commented on TIKA-1409:
----------------------------------
Directories don't have mime types, only content does
It looks like your JVM is giving a somewhat confusing error message if you try
to open a directory as if it were a file, but overall asking for a mime type of
a directory will never work so I'm not sure to what extent we want to add a
special error message?

> Hi there,
> just for curiosity I used the code you can find at the end of the "Content
> and language detection" page[1] to get the Tika mimetype for a directory.
> I tried on a well known directory (System.getProperty("user.home")) and I got:
> java.io.FileNotFoundException: C:\Users\2913 (Access is denied)
> at java.io.FileInputStream.open(Native Method) ~[na:1.8.0_11]
> at java.io.FileInputStream.<init>(FileInputStream.java:131)
> ~[na:1.8.0_11]
> at org.apache.tika.io.TikaInputStream.<init>(TikaInputStream.java:444)
> ~[tika-core-1.5.jar:na]
> at org.apache.tika.io.TikaInputStream.get(TikaInputStream.java:231)
> ~[tika-core-1.5.jar:na]
> at org.apache.tika.io.TikaInputStream.get(TikaInputStream.java:212)
> ~[tika-core-1.5.jar:na]
> Obviously the directory exists and it is readable.
> Is this the expected behaviour?
> Thanks
> Bye
