#29 MS Word DOC wrong detection

[Anonymous]

I have the following implementation:

GuessInputStream effectInputStream = GuessInputStream
                    .getInstance(
                            file,
                            null,
                            new DetectionLibrary[] { new StreamDetectorImpl(), new
DroidDetectorImpl() },
                            new Decoder[] { new Base64Decoder(),
                                    new Pkcs7Decoder(), new GzipDecoder(),
                                    new Bzip2Decoder() });
            effectInputStream.decode(false);
            effectInputStream
                    .setIdentificationDepth(FileUtil.MAX_NUM_FORMAT_PER_FILE);
            FormatEnum[] formats = effectInputStream.getFormats();

Passing to that method the file attached I got
"OLE2_COMPOUND_DOCUMENT_FORMAT" instead of "DOC" as expected.

I'm using wazformat-1.2.3 on Java 1.6 and Linux Ubuntu 9.04

May be a limitation of the Droid detection library. I recently updated the
identification file of Droid. Please try a newer version of Wazformat (1.2.6 or head)
and tell me if you can still reproduce it.

I agree with you, it seems a limitation of the Droid identification file: i can still
reproduce this issue with latest stable (1.2.6).
More infos for you:
the library correctly detects as "DOC" the files saved by OpenOffice (v 3.1) in each
variant (Word 6.0, Word for W95, MS-Office 97-2003-xp) but fails with files saved by
MS Office 2007 ("saved as..." MS-Office 97-2003) detected as
"OLE2_COMPOUND_DOCUMENT_FORMAT". Of course the .docx is detected as "ZIP".
Hope in a new revision of the Droid signature file. Thank you for your support!
Best regards,
Stefano
