Tar file breaks dataset viewer #1089

Open donkirkby opened 4 years ago

A container generated a tar file of png files, and then the server displayed an error page when we went to view the dataset.

Traceback:

I think we use a utility that tries to identify binary files, maybe it doesn't work with tar files. We should be able to catch the exception and then treat the file as binary.

I'm seeing the same error with PDF files. Workaround: download them through the API.
