Which mime type in ParseUtils.getStringContent() ?

I have a InputStream to an unknown file and would like to extract text from it -
using ParseUtils.getStringContent(java.io.InputStream stream, TikaConfig config,
java.lang.String mimeType). Which mimeType should I use?

Thanks.

Please use the org.apache.tika.Tika facade class instead of the old
ParseUtils class.

The code to parse an unknown file or an input stream with the Tika
facade is simply:

    String text = new Tika().parseToString(file);

or

    String text = new Tika().parseToString(stream);

See [1] for the details.
