[jira] [Commented] (TIKA-1522) Exe being detected as application/x-msdownload

["Nick Burch (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-1522?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14282874#comment-14282874 ] 

Nick Burch commented on TIKA-1522:
----------------------------------

For that file, I'm getting {{{application/x-msdownload; format=pe32}}} from Tika App, which is a subtype of {{{application/x-msdownload;format=pe}}} which is a subtype of {{{application/x-msdownload}}}

{{{application/x-dosexec}}} is the mimetype which has the {{{.exe}}} glob, and that's also a subtype of {{{application/x-msdownload}}}

The problem is that a windows 32 bit DLL will also be detected as {{{application/x-msdownload; format=pe32}}}, and that shouldn't be {{{application/x-dosexec}}}

This might need some thought...

> If it is ok, *.exe must be included in application/x-msdownload glob pattern definitions. If it should be detected as application/x-dosexec, the hierarchy between application/x-dosexec, application/x-msdownload and PE based formats must be changed.
