Nick Burch commented on TIKA-2064:
----------------------------------
>From a quick google, `application/x-stata-dta` seems to be what other people
>are using for these files
They look to be somewhat xml-based, so proper detection ought not to be too
hard to sort out for them
Do you know the license of the test file you've referenced? And/or have the
ability to create a small test DTA file that you can share with us to use in
unit tests?
> Document type detected incorrectly for Stata datasets (.dta extension)

> Key: TIKA-2064
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-2064
> Project: Tika
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: detector
> Affects Versions: 1.13
> Reporter: Michael Stepner
>
> The content type of Stata datasets (created using http://www.stata.com
> software) is incorrectly detected as `text/html` by Tika. I have tested this
> using the latest release of Tika, v1.13:
> ```
> $ curl -O http://www.stata-press.com/data/r14/auto.dta
> $ java -jar tika-app-1.13.jar --detect auto.dta
> text/html
> ```
> I believe that the type should instead be `application/octet-stream` (or the
> equivalent).
> I originally reported this bug downstream (at
> https://github.com/laurilehmijoki/s3_website/issues/232), and was advised to
> report upstream to Tika. In addition to the one I downloaded using `curl` in
> my example, a variety of reference Stata datasets are posted here:
> http://www.stata-press.com/data/r14/dmain.html
