> Add simple URLFetcher to tika-core
> ----------------------------------

> Key: TIKA-3527
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-3527
> Project: Tika
> Issue Type: Task
> Reporter: Tim Allison
> Assignee: Tim Allison
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 2.1.0
>
>
> In 1.x, users could send a URL including a file url to tika-server and have
> tika-server fetch the bytes. In 2.x, we created the tika-pipes modules and
> included a file fetcher in tika-core and put an http-fetcher in its own
> module because of its dependency on httpclient.
> To smooth the transition to 2.x, it might be useful to add a URLFetcher that
> uses the built-in basic Java URL.getConnection() functionality. I'd want to
> prohibit the file protocol because of the history with that as a
> vulnerability. If folks want to fetch files, they have to explicitly choose
> a different fetcher and specify a base path.
