This processor attempts to identify the MIME type used for a
FlowFile. If the MIME type can be identified, an attribute with the
name
mime.type
is added to the FlowFile, and its value is the detected MIME type.
Some MIME
types require the processor to read a significant amount of data; for
these MIME types, their identification is optional. (See the
properties Identify ZIP and Identify TAR.) The algorithm may have to
read the entire contents of a file for each type of identification. If
the MIME Type cannot be determined, its mime.type attribute will be
set to
application/octet-stream
.
The following MIME Types are detected:

the MIME Type, the attribute's value will be set to application/octet-stream. |
