Description

Hi there,

just for curiosity I used the code you can find at the end of the "Content and language detection" page[1] to get the Tika mimetype for a directory.
I tried on a well known directory (System.getProperty("user.home")) and I got:
java.io.FileNotFoundException: C:\Users\2913 (Access is denied)
at java.io.FileInputStream.open(Native Method) ~[na:1.8.0_11]
at java.io.FileInputStream.<init>(FileInputStream.java:131) ~[na:1.8.0_11]
at org.apache.tika.io.TikaInputStream.<init>(TikaInputStream.java:444) ~[tika-core-1.5.jar:na]
at org.apache.tika.io.TikaInputStream.get(TikaInputStream.java:231) ~[tika-core-1.5.jar:na]
at org.apache.tika.io.TikaInputStream.get(TikaInputStream.java:212) ~[tika-core-1.5.jar:na]

Obviously the directory exists and it is readable.
Is this the expected behaviour?

Thanks
Bye
Piero
