-----------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
Fix Version/s: 1.2
> MagicMime detection of msdos executables does not work
> ------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: TIKA-913
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-913
> Project: Tika
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: mime
> Affects Versions: 1.1
> Environment: Linux, JDK 1.6
> Reporter: Torsten Krah
> Labels: detection, magic, mime
> Fix For: 1.2
>
>
> Mime detection does not work as expected (at least from me) in contrast e.g. to sourceforge
mime-util detection or "file" utility.
> For example using putty ms-dos executable does result in wrong detections:
> krah@sf050:~$ java -jar /tmp/tika-app-1.1.jar --detect /tmp/putty
> application/octet-stream
> krah@sf050:~$ java -jar /tmp/tika-app-1.1.jar --detect /tmp/putty.jpg
> image/jpeg
> krah@sf050:~$ java -jar /tmp/tika-app-1.1.jar --detect /tmp/putty.exe
> application/x-msdownload
> Its everytime the same binary resource only with different names.
> In contrast using "file" does output:
> krah@sf050:~$ file /tmp/putty
> /tmp/putty: PE32 executable for MS Windows (GUI) Intel 80386 32-bit
> krah@sf050:~$ file /tmp/putty.jpg
> /tmp/putty.jpg: PE32 executable for MS Windows (GUI) Intel 80386 32-bit
> krah@sf050:~$ file /tmp/putty.exe
> /tmp/putty.exe: PE32 executable for MS Windows (GUI) Intel 80386 32-bit
> So magic mime detection should be able to detect that this is actually an executable.
> E.g. for a PDF it does work:
> krah@sf050:~$ java -jar /tmp/tika-app-1.1.jar --detect /tmp/print.pdf
> application/pdf
> krah@sf050:~$ java -jar /tmp/tika-app-1.1.jar --detect /tmp/print
> application/pdf
> krah@sf050:~$ java -jar /tmp/tika-app-1.1.jar --detect /tmp/print.jpg
> application/pdf
> Here Tika detects what is expected.
