Apache TIKA detects wrong content type





.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}

I am using spring JAX-RS to upload file as a multipart form-data. I have inputstream object as an argument. I get my text file when I copy this input stream to disk.



but when I try to detect content type of this Input stream, I get Content Type as application/octet-stream.



My code is



    Tika tika = new Tika();
String contentType = tika.detect(in);


in is my InputStream object and I am getting content type as application/octet-stream.



As a test I also tested the same file with tika desktop, and i got the right content type text/plain.

          Detecting a text file as a text file is actually hard...there are no magic bytes. Tika relies on the filename (file suffix) if it is provided. If you run detect on a File or if you pass in the file name detect(InputStream is, String filename) or if you pass in the file name in the Metadata object (metadata.set(Metadata.RESOURCE_NAME_KEY, fileName)), you'll get the correct results.
