Nick Burch commented on TIKA-1409: ---------------------------------- I believe that inodes are a unix-specific thing, so that mime type is perhaps not a totally generic one for a directory > Error asking for a directory mime-type > -------------------------------------- > > Key: TIKA-1409 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-1409 > Project: Tika > Issue Type: Bug > Components: general > Affects Versions: 1.5 > Environment: Windows 7 and JDK 1.8 > Reporter: Piero Ottuzzi > > 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 > Piero > [1]http://tika.apache.org/1.5/detection.html -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
