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

Nick Burch reopened TIKA-289:
-----------------------------

I've just checked, and there are actually a handful of mime types defined in the file magic which we don't have, doh! Let's add those few in, then close

Also, I wonder if we should add a reference to the file magic (probably the [github version|https://github.com/file/file/tree/master/magic/Magdir]) to the detection or similar docs, to point new people to it as a possible source of suitably licensed magics if they can't otherwise find some?

> As discussed in TIKA-285, the file(1) command comes with a pretty comprehensive set of magic byte patterns. It would be nice to get those patterns included also in Tika.
