I'm parsing a package file, let's say foo.tar.gz. AutoDetectParser
does the right thing in the sense
that returns an XHTML file that contains entries for each file in the
tar file which is in the gzip file. However, the metadata object
returned by top AutoDetectParser contains only the metadata for the
outermost package, i.e. the gzip. Obviously the metadata for each
file within the tar exists, otherwise PackageParser wouldn't be able
to use AutoDetectParser to correctly chain down within the file.
(i.e. Somewhere foo.tar/foo.pdf is tagged as application/pdf to enable
PDFParser to correctly convert it to text.)
Examining the XHTML returned, reveals nothing. It's just a bunch of
<div class="package-entry">s delineating the different entries in the
TAR. Is there a way to get the metadata for each entry within a
package file, and I'm just missing it? If not, it seems like
PackageParser could be modified to spit out a bunch of DIVs of the
form: <div class="metadata" name="METADATA-KEY">METADATA-VALUE</div>
