[jira] [Created] (TIKA-1494) JAXRS server: allow passing PDF password in the request

Peter Bowyer created TIKA-1494:
----------------------------------

             Summary: JAXRS server: allow passing PDF password in the request
                 Key: TIKA-1494
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-1494
             Project: Tika
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: server
            Reporter: Peter Bowyer


I have to extract content from encrypted PDFs. Setting the PDF password using the TIKA_PASSWORD environment variable works, however it only allows for one PDF password.

It would be very useful to be able to pass the password in during the HTTP request - as a header or by some other means. This way I can run a central JAXRS server and extract content from all PDFs, rather than a separate server for each department/group that has its own password.
