Facing Error for type: [[ application/octet-stream ]] while extracting from URL

[Manas-E]

I wanted to extract text from an URL, URL contains a pdf file that is hosted on firebase.
Now I'm facing this issue with URL only it is working correctly with local pdf file.

Here are the logs:
2022-02-19T16:31:26+0530 <error> processing.js:97 () Error: Error for type: [[ application/octet-stream ]], file: [[ C:\Users\lenovo\AppData\Local\Temp\60980467322.pdf ]] at extract (C:\Users\lenovo\Desktop\React\Open-Source\linkin_port-\node_modules\textract\lib\extract.js:151:15) at Timeout._onTimeout (C:\Users\lenovo\Desktop\React\Open-Source\linkin_port-\node_modules\textract\lib\extract.js:159:7) at listOnTimeout (node:internal/timers:557:17) at processTimers (node:internal/timers:500:7) { typeNotFound: true }

Please suggest what can be done @nosferatu500

Can you check if this works with the original library?
https://github.com/dbashford/textract

I just updated a few deps in this fork to fix the issues with CVE found.

If it works with the original library but not with this fork, I can take a look in a few days.

@nosferatu500 nope it has the same error in the original also, I tried your version to tackle that error but it still persists
If you could tell me what this error means, I can try debugging it somehow

@nosferatu500 I debugged into it and found that it was passing type as binary file but actually the file type is pdf. So for URLs we have to pass typeoverride option and provide type of the file, like this:

textract.fromUrl(FIREBASE_URL,{ typeOverride: "application/pdf"}, function( error, text ) { console.log("started") console.log(text,error) })
