        Hi,
maybe because this comes even lower than to gio, as the more generic
tool is xdg-mime, which has similar arguments as gio tool.

Note there is also x-scheme-handler/https (appended 's' at the end).

What Pete suggested is also good, it helps to verify that also gio/gvfs
understands the settings. I wouldn't be surprised if other than GNOME
environments would be able to influence the behaviour through their UI
settings these days, especially when they use xdg under the hood.

Nah, the devels are aaaall the same :)
