**Summary**
A DOC, PPT, or XLS file sent to partition() as a file-like object is
misidentified as a MSG file and raises an exception in python-oxmsg
(which is used to process MSG files).
**Fix**
DOC, PPT, XLS, and MSG are all Microsoft OLE-based files, aka. Compound
File Binary Format (CFBF). These can be reliably distinguished by
inspecting magic bytes in certain locations. `libmagic` is unreliable at
this or doesn't try, reporting the generic `"application/x-ole-storage"`
which corresponds to the "container" CFBF format (vaguely like a
Microsoft Zip format) that all these document types are stored in.
Unconditionally use `filetype.guess_mime()` provided by the `filetype`
package that is part of the base unstructured install. Unlike
`libmagic`, this package reliably detects the distinguished MIME-type
(e.g. `"application/msword"`) for OLE file subtypes.
Fixes#3364
The sample docs directory contains the following files:
example-10k.html - A 10-K SEC filing in HTML format
layout-parser-paper.pdf - A PDF copy of the layout parser paper
factbook.xml/factbook.xsl - Example XML/XLS files that you can use to test stylesheets
These documents can be used to test out the parsers in the library. In addition, here are
instructions for pulling in some sample docs that are too big to store in the repo.
XBRL 10-K
You can get an example 10-K in inline XBRL format using the following curl. Note, you need
to have the user agent set in the header or the SEC site will reject your request.
curl -O \
-A '${organization} ${email}'
