Hi, I want to follow up on this: On Linux (Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS), the module also loads everything it finds in the registries (a.k.a, entries in the "knownfiles" variable) in "strict" mode, even though some of them aren't registered in IANA. (I'm assuming that "registered in IANA" means everything in here only: https://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/media-types.xhtml) For example, ".com" is recognized as having mimetype "applications/x-msdos-program". This becomes problematic when an unparsed URL, such as "http://abc.efg/hij.html#http://abc.com";, is fed into guess_type. I'm wondering if we should make the documentation clearer and state that "strict=True" means using IANA registered types along with the types found on the machine, it seems like this is the expected behavior based on the comments in "def _default_mime_types()", or we should actually move everything other than IANA registered types out of strict mode.
