----------------------------------

             Summary: application/x-msdownload should have text/plain as super type
                 Key: TIKA-1148
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-1148
             Project: Tika
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: mime
    Affects Versions: 1.3
         Environment: Linux, JDK 1.7
            Reporter: Torsten Krah
            Priority: Trivial


Using a standard batch file Tika.detect(...) detects from the magic String detector that it is text/plain.
The MimeDetector tells application/x-msdownload.

The instanceOf test fails to detect, that a ".bat" is a "subtype" of "text/plain".

Fixed this as workaround with:

MimeTypes.getDefaultMimeTypes().setSuperType(MimeTypes.getDefaultMimeTypes().forName("application/x-msdownload"), MimeTypes.getDefaultMimeTypes().forName("text/plain").getType());


>From my point of view its a batch file is a text/plain type, so the hint from the extension detector should be accepted and not ignored.

Can this be added to the mimetypes xml?
