 Customizing the Tika Server Request
 ---------------------------
-You may customize the outgoing HTTP request to Tika server by setting `requestOptions` on the `.from_file` and `.from_buffer` methods (Parser, Unpack , Detect, Config, Language, Translate). It should be a dictionary of arguments that will be passed to the request method. The [request method documentation](https://2.python-requests.org/en/master/api/#requests.request) specifies valid arguments. This will override any defaults except for `url` and `params `/`data`.
