another problem...

Hi,
another problem is that text files which are stored without an extension
(such as the ones usually coming from Linux) - Tika thinks them to be
binary/octet files, and does not extract text.

Thank you,
Mark

Which Tika version are you using? Tika 0.3 should be able to
auto-detect ASCII text files without help from a file extension or
other input metadata.
