The `<cratename>/index.html` file generated by `cargo doc` is erroneusly detected as `text/csv`

Given this bug might potentially affect a bunch of projects, I think it is worth reporting it.

how to reproduce

  • Create a rust project: mkdir myrustproj && cd myrustproj && cargo new myrustproj
  • Generate the docs: cargo doc
  • Check the filetype detected by xdg-mime with: ./target/doc/myrustproj/index.html

It will return text/csv.

In my case this was provoking the index.html file to open with krita.
