Description

I need to use a custom tika-config.xml in Nutch, which has support for it but i can't get it to work.

This is how Nutch gets the parser:
Parser parser = tikaConfig.getParser(MediaType.parse(mimeType));

When no custom config is specified config is:
new TikaConfig(this.getClass().getClassLoader());

When i specify a custom config, it is:
tikaConfig = new TikaConfig(conf.getResource(customConfFile));

getParser always returns null with a custom config file. There are no errors or exceptions. The config is fine, it fixed the encoding problem in a parser outside of Nutch (thanks again Timothy) but i need to get it to work in Nutch too.

Our external project does:
AutoDetectParser parser = new AutoDetectParser(tikaConfig); parser.parse(..);

and it just works! If i do this in Nutch, however, nothing is passed through the content handlers, the parser result is completely empty?
