Hi Sebastien. Thaks your for your reply. I suggest you to do the following to see that even if file is starting with proper tags it is recognized as `application/x-perl`:
$ tee "index.html" <<eol <!DOCTYPE html> <html><body>use strict</body></html> eol $ xdg-mime query filetype index.html # -> application/x-perl - wrong type Why did you tagged report as invalid? I just got a file with minified JS code which has `use strict` burrowed deep somewhere inside correct html file but it's still recognized as perl script. I can't use some tools to open the file in browser by using xdg-open and forced to use browser-specific launcher. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to shared-mime-info in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1890716 Title: xdg-mime query filetype index.html reports wrong type Status in shared-mime-info package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: For .html files `xdg-mime` reports wrong type. The culprit is the `"use strict"` phrase which is used in JavaScript. It should not mistake .html files for anything else except of text/html ! STEPS TO REPRODUCE: Run the following step by step in any folder: 1. $ echo "\"use strict\"" > index.html 2. $ xdg-mime query filetype index.html # -> application/x-perl - this should be text/html!
