Hex of RSS xml file is not recognized as RSS file MIME type

I converted this RSS XML content to hex:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<rss version="2.0">

</rss>

Then send it to Tika... Tika returns: text/plain

Why am I not getting the rss mime type?

I do the same with RDF and it works. By the way I use: tika.detect(hex)

Base 64 encoded XML is no longer valid XML, so this is as expected.

You need to send Tika the real file as-is
