And it's now fixed, right? I just want to clarify how the content type guess anyway.

1- For non-local files, the type is only sniffed when sniff policy allows it (it's the default, though). It's done by libsoup, using its own impl, not shared-mime-info.

2- For local files, libsoup gets the content type using G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_STANDARD_CONTENT_TYPE. When we don't get a content type from libsoup we try with the WebKit MIMETypeRegistry (which tries to get the type from the file extension using xdg_mime_get_mime_type_from_file_name).

So, I don't think WebKit i using shared-mimo-info directly, it's libsoup using G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_STANDARD_CONTENT_TYPE, which ends up suing g_content_type_guess(), for local files.
