Tim Allison commented on TIKA-2099:
-----------------------------------
[~gagravarr], thank you for the ping. All, apologies for the delay.
I think we should do for archivers what I just did for compressors...copy the
compress' new detect() method into Tika so that it makes it into Tika 1.15, and
then remove once we can upgrade to commons-compress 1.14.
> Tar files without magic bytes are sporadically detected as text

> Key: TIKA-2099
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-2099
> Project: Tika
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 1.11
> Reporter: Robin Schimpf
>
> When a tar is created with 7 Zip 9.20 the magic bytes "ustar" are not added.
> Everything seems to work file if the tar contains Microsoft Office files. But
> when only text files are contained Tika sporadically recognices it as
> text/plain. It also seems to depend on the size of the first file in the tar.
> This has to be several KB big.
> The problem was found in version 1.11 and also exists in the latest
> 1.14-SNAPSHOT.
