             Summary: Create tika-server Frontend
                 Key: TIKA-1545
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-1545
             Project: Tika
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: server
            Reporter: Tyler Palsulich
            Assignee: Tyler Palsulich
             Fix For: 1.8


The current server homepage only displays a list of available endpoints. I 
propose a front end which will allow a user to upload a file, select a dropdown 
of output format, check boxes of metadata/content, click submit, and view 
Tika's output.

This will be a nice feature to have along with TIKA-1301. When a potential user 
asks what Tika does for [filetype], we can direct them to the VM so they can 
try it out.

I'll upload a patch with a new endpoint which accepts a multipart/form-data 
input file. But, it's ugly... I'd prefer to make the call with Ajax. But, I 
don't know how to that with the current tika-server setup.

A more complex, but pretty, example of something Tika should have is 
http://any23.org/.

Thoughts?
