I do not use any desktop environment (just fvwm as my window manager).

If I use "xdg-mime query filetype ...", I get text/html. So, this
does not explain Midori's behavior.

In the strace output, I can see that

  ~/.local/share/mime/application/x-extension-html.xml

is opened. It contains:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mime-type xmlns="http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/shared-mime-info"; 
type="application/x-extension-html">
  <!--Created automatically by update-mime-database. DO NOT EDIT!-->
  <comment>html document</comment>
  <glob pattern="*.html"/>
</mime-type>

So, this comes from the shared-mime-info package.

I wonder why type="application/x-extension-html" and not
type="text/html", but ideally, the real MIME type should be
obtained by sniffing, not by using the extension. Perhaps it
is the intent of the generic application/x-extension-html?
