You have been subscribed to a public bug:

For .html files `xdg-mime` reports wrong type. The culprit is the `"use
strict"` phrase which is used in JavaScript. It should not mistake .html
files for anything else except of text/html !

STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
Run the following step by step in any folder:
1. $ echo "\"use strict\"" > index.html
2. $ xdg-mime query filetype index.html # -> application/x-perl - this should be text/html!

Platform:
Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS (Focal Fossa)"
Linux version 5.4.0-42-generic (buildd@lgw01-amd64-038) (gcc version 9.3.0 (Ubuntu 9.3.0-10ubuntu2))

xdg-utils: 1.1.3-2ubuntu1
