Description

There are still problems with this issue (which actually builds on from the work undertaken by markus17 on NUTCH-1230). I meant to mention and address them ages ago and they recently resurfaced Whilst tackling NUTCH-1273. The following code is deprecated

170 	// If no mime-type header, or cannot find a corresponding registered
171 	// mime-type, then guess a mime-type from the url pattern
172 	type = this.mimeTypes.getMimeType(url) != null ? this.mimeTypes
173 	.getMimeType(url) : type;
174 	}
175 	

Thanks to Nick Burch over on Tika, I attempted to upgrade it to the following

String mt = getMimeType(url);
type = mt != null ? mt : type;

Which will of course not compile as the javac rightly flags incompatible types as the error.

This is present in both trunk and 2.x and we should address it once and for all.
