Hello! I am sending a PDF document to Tika Server and it is being detected as a plain text file (see full stack trace at bottom). If I specify 'Content-Type: application/pdf' in the header of the request, then Tika is able to extract content. In the tests below, mydocument.pdf is simply a text file I printed to PDF using Google Chrome.
Am I wrong in expecting that Tika determine the type of document without any additional help?
