Summary of a number of differences in mime type reporting before and after Tika #48

Hello 馃憢

In light of the differences that are showing up in mime type reporting pre and post Tika I thought it might be nice to try and get ahead of the bug reports by trying to get a big set of example files and run the mime type detection on them before and after the change to Tika.

I found a source of about 500 files here https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xdg/shared-mime-info/-/tree/master/tests/mime-detection. Unfortunately Tika doesn't seem to have a similar set of test files in the source afaict.

I then ran the following test script against this set of files:

require "marcel"

ARGV.each do |filename|
  basename = File.basename(filename)

  File.open(filename) do |file|
    puts "%s %s" % [basename, Marcel::MimeType.for(file, name: basename)]
  end
end

I ran this script using 2 versions of Marcel - v0.3.3 and the current at time of writing HEAD - a525d5b

The attached CSV shows all the instances where a different MIME type was reported between the two versions. There are a total of 286. Most of the MIME types I would say are fairly niche and could no doubt be ignored without ever causing anyone a problem. But there are some common ones in there. And conversely the set of files is not a complete list of all MIME types known to humanity, so there will no doubt still be others that show up.

Anyway, I figured this list may be useful. Feel free to close this issue if it's not. 馃グ

I don't think we can legally use those files as our fixtures, but this is good to know nonetheless. Thanks for the info!

Here's a table version of the CSV detailing all the affected types (minus types I've already fixed in PRs), we can track fixes for these in this issue:

I can see that getting legitimate test files for some of these could be fraught with issues - Genesis ROMs for example 馃槵

Also not all of the differences are bugs - for example serafettin.rar returns application/pdf in 0.3.3 which is obviously wrong so we shouldn't change that back (though there's still a question whether the new value is correct).

@pixeltrix I agree that these are not all bugs. It might be nice to ask for some kind of reference (e.g. an RFC or similar) when a PR is submitted to fix a 'regression' as to why the old value is more correct than the new one.
