There is already a MIME type for these files "Internet shortcut
(application/x-mswinurl)" registered in
/usr/share/mime/application/x-mswinurl.xml and
/usr/share/packages/freedesktop.org.xml
The latter contains the magic word search:
<magic priority="50">
<match value="InternetShortcut" type="string" offset="1"/>
<match value="DEFAULT" type="string" offset="1">
<match value="BASEURL=" type="string" offset="10"/>
</match>
</magic>
The files are actually recognized as "resource location (text/x-uri)"
when I view the Properties in Nautilus, though. This seems to be based
on the .url glob:
/u/s/mime> grep -ir "\.url" *
globs:text/x-uri:*.url
globs2:50:text/x-uri:*.url
packages/freedesktop.org.xml: <glob pattern="*.url"/>
Not sure about the details of this. Do these definitions need to be
cleaned up to be consistent?
