[webkit-gtk] How to view file saved by webkit_web_view_save_to_file

[Mario Sanchez Prada]

Hi,

WebCore used to recognize (and allow rendering) MHTML elements as files with
mimetype message/rfc822, but that changed in May with the patch for bug
116442[2], which replaced the expected mimetype with
application/x-mimearchive.

However, you need to have a version of shared-mime-info that it's recent
enough to contain the change that matches MHTML files with this
application/x-mimearchive mimetype (see [3]), which is the 1.1 release I
believe.

So, I would check the version of shared-mime-info. It should work fine if
it's recent enough.

Hope this helps,
Mario
