    Description

      The proposed feature is to accept a URL parameter when using extract-only mode to specify an output format. This parameter might just overload the existing "ext.extract.only" so that one can optionally specify a format, e.g. false|true|xml|text where true and xml give the same response (i.e. xml remains the default)

      I had been assuming that I could choose among possible tika output
      formats when using the extracting request handler in extract-only mode
      as if from the CLI with the tika jar:

      -x or --xml Output XHTML content (default)
      -h or --html Output HTML content
      -t or --text Output plain text content
      -m or --metadata Output only metadata

      However, looking at the docs and source, it seems that only the xml
      option is available (hard-coded) in ExtractingDocumentLoader.java

      serializer = new XMLSerializer(writer, new OutputFormat("XML", "UTF-8", true));
      

      Providing at least a plain-text response seems to work if you change the serializer to a TextSerializer (org.apache.xml.serialize.TextSerializer).
