Nick Burch commented on TIKA-447:
---------------------------------
Jukka - that might end up being more work though? Also, short of refactoring
the current mime types to split out all the different bits, I'm not sure we
will have that many new detectors ever?
> Container aware mimetype detection
> ----------------------------------
>
> Key: TIKA-447
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-447
> Project: Tika
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: mime
> Affects Versions: 0.7
> Reporter: Nick Burch
> Attachments: TikaContainerDetection.patch
>
>
> As discussed on the dev list, Tika should ideally have a configurable way to
> process container based formats (eg zip files and ole2 files) when trying to
> detect the correct mime type for a document.
> This needs to be configurable, because some people won't want Tika to have to
> do all the work of parsing the whole file when they're not interested in
> knowing exactly what's in it
> Once we have gone to the trouble of opening and parsing the container file,
> we should try to keep the open container around to speed up parsing of the
> contents
