Tim Allison commented on TIKA-1896:
-----------------------------------
Thank you for raising this.
I'm not exceedingly familiar with TagSoup. It looks from the snippet below of
TagSoup's CommandLine, that the {{method=html}} parameter is being passed to
the writer, not the parser.
{code}
XMLWriter x;
...
x = new XMLWriter(w);
...
if (hasOption(options, "--method=")) {
String method = (String)options.get("--method=");
if (method != null) {
x.setOutputProperty(XMLWriter.METHOD, method);
}
}
{code}
Further, from the description of --method=html ("End-tags for the known empty
HTML elements are suppressed."), it looks like this is accidentally fixing the
problem you mention...if TagSoup is treating {{<script>}} as a known empty
element???
Any fellow devs know how we might be able to fix this by changing the
configuration on TagSoup's parser, perhaps?
> Invalid closing script tag not handled gracefully by HtmlParser
> ---------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: TIKA-1896
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-1896
> Project: Tika
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: parser
> Affects Versions: 1.12
> Reporter: Matthew Caruana Galizia
> Attachments: test.html
>
>
> When an HTML file contains an invalid closing script tag, all content after
> that tag is interpreted as script data and therefore ignored.
> Reduced test case file attached.
> To reproduce:
> 1) create a file with the following HTML
> {code:html}
> <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
> "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd";>
> <html>
> <head>
> <script lang="javascript"></script language>
> </head>
> <body>
> <p>This is a test.</p>
> </body>
> </html>
> {code}
> 2) {{java -jar tika-app-1.12.jar -t test.html}}
> Expected result:
> {{This is a test.}}
> What is actually returned:
> Nothing.
