Peter Wolanin updated SOLR-1274:
--------------------------------

    Attachment: SOLR-1274.patch

Here's a patch that's nearly there, but somehow I'm missing something in how java behaves.  The param is getting picked up, but this line never evals as true, even when the param is parsed right:

{code}
  if (extractFormat == "text") {
{code}


If I set it to
{code}
  if (true) {
{code}

I get the desired text-only output.

> The proposed feature is to accept a URL parameter when using extract-only mode to specify an output format.  This parameter might just overload the existing "ext.extract.only" so that one can optionally specify a format, e.g. false|true|xml|text  where true and xml give the same response (i.e. xml remains the default)
> I had been assuming that I could choose among possible tika output
> formats when using the extracting request handler in extract-only mode
> as if from the CLI with the tika jar:
>    -x or --xml        Output XHTML content (default)
>    -h or --html       Output HTML content
>    -t or --text       Output plain text content
>    -m or --metadata   Output only metadata
> However, looking at the docs and source, it seems that only the xml
> option is available (hard-coded) in ExtractingDocumentLoader.java
> {code}
> serializer = new XMLSerializer(writer, new OutputFormat("XML", "UTF-8", true));
> {code}
> Providing at least a plain-text response seems to work if you change the serializer to a TextSerializer (org.apache.xml.serialize.TextSerializer).
