I can't say if this is a bug in QtWebKit but, if you need to change the way
content is loaded and recognized, you may want to look into creating a
custom QNetworkAccessManager subclass and using an instance of that to
handle network requests for QtWebKit.

I thought I'd put a related example on the Qt Centre Wiki at
http://wiki.qtcentre.org but apparently not. The closest thing I can find
right now is this example:

http://www.diotavelli.net/PyQtWiki/Using%20a%20Custom%20Protocol%20with%20QtWebKit

This doesn't do anything with the content type, but it shows how to replace
the standard QNetworkAccessManager with something else.
