Description

When using tika to detect a mime type given only an URL containing ".php" and a content-type hint of "text/html", it guesses "text/x-php", whereas one could expect "text/html".

TikaConfig tika = new TikaConfig();
Metadata metadata = new Metadata();
String url = "https://www.facebook.com/home.php";
metadata.set(Metadata.RESOURCE_NAME_KEY, url);
metadata.set(Metadata.CONTENT_TYPE, "text/html");
MediaType type = tika.getDetector().detect(null, metadata);
System.out.println(url + " is of type " + type.toString());
// Prints https://www.facebook.com/home.php is of type text/x-php
