Hi,
maybe because this comes even lower than to gio, as the more generic
tool is xdg-mime, which has similar arguments as gio tool.
Note there is also x-scheme-handler/https (appended 's' at the end).
What Pete suggested is also good, it helps to verify that also gio/gvfs
understands the settings. I wouldn't be surprised if other than GNOME
environments would be able to influence the behaviour through their UI
settings these days, especially when they use xdg under the hood.
