Jukka Zitting resolved TIKA-483.
--------------------------------

         Assignee: Jukka Zitting
    Fix Version/s: 0.8
       Resolution: Fixed

Fixed in revision 986594. I use application/octet-stream for empty files instead of the non-standard application/x-empty. This loses some information, but on the other hand allows type inheritance rules to work correctly in cases like when a type hint like "filename.txt" suggests a more specific media type.

> Our current type detection code returns text/plain for an empty document. A more better return type would be application/octet-stream, to give higher level detectors like filename suffix hints more flexibility.
