FileGetMimeType() - doesn't throw an error when the file does not exist or is empty

Description

Using FileGetMimeType, if run the below code it returns mime-type of file. Although that file does not exist on the path

https://docs.lucee.org/reference/functions/filegetmimetype.html

Solution

Strict is by default true

For Lucee 6.0,

  • when strict is false, this existing behaviour will be supported.

  • when strict is true, an empty or non existent file will now throw an error

Previously, strict was ignored in Lucee, as Lucee only bundles Tika core, not the full suite of tika-parsers due to it’s size and all the dependencies

(maybe we add a tika extension with the whole gang of parsers and libs?)

With this PR, when strict is true (default), if the file doesn’t exist or is empty, fileGetMimeType() will now throw an error ( a minor breaking change for the better )

I also added to the description of strict, information that we use apache tika, without the parsers and this new behaviour

plus I added the aliases to match the argument names for ACF

Let’s break this for 6.0, for most files a 0 byte is invalid, every file function throws a not found

most good code is always going to be doing a fileExist() or directoryList() result before calling this function

i agree on the role the argument “strict“ plays in this, atm it is ignored.
