Using the API, I have extracted the supported media types for the
AutoDetectParser in Tika 1.1
and I'm not seeing HTML or XHTML mimetypes in that list of 92 items,
though it parses such files fine.

Why would this be the case? or am I missing something?

Thanks,
Bill

Hmm, HTML is showing up for me:

java -jar tika-app-1.1.jar --list-parser-details | grep -A 4 HtmlParser
     org.apache.tika.parser.html.HtmlParser
       application/x-asp
       application/xhtml+xml
       application/vnd.wap.xhtml+xml
       text/html

Nick,

I believe you answered a different question than what I asked.  My
observation was specifically about the AutoDetectParser listing its
supported mediatypes, not about the HTMLParser.  The code I used is
similar to:

         for (MediaType mt : autoDetectParser.getSupportedTypes(pctx)) {
             System.out.println(mt.toString());
         }

The mimetypes you listed for the HtmlParser do not show up here.

Thanks,
Bill

The Tika App uses AutoDetectParser internally, so if it's finding the
parser and the mimetypes then they should be correctly defined.

I wonder if perhaps in your application if you're missing some of the
classes that the HtmlParser depends on? Parsers will only show up if they
can be loaded correctly

As a general rule, it's often worth checking something with Tika App when
your code misbehaves, as it can help diferentiate between Tika bugs and
errors in the setup of Tika in your code
