Tim Allison commented on TIKA-2979:
-----------------------------------
If there are no objections, I'll make this change for 1.23 and document it.
> tika-server shouldn't throw an exception for a non-supported format

> Key: TIKA-2979
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-2979
> Project: Tika
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Tim Allison
> Priority: Minor
>
> tika-server throws an UnsupportedMediaTypeException if there is no parser for
> a given format. This prevents users from getting the mime type and any
> digests that were computed on the stream. Further this is different behavior
> than tika-app where we rely on the EmptyParser to do nothing.
> Is there a need for this exception?
> Would it be too great a change to turn off this behavior? If it would be,
> any recommendations for the commandline switch to turn it off?
