Fix #4036. The issue was originally reported as #564 (and #811) and fixed for the most part, but this is a variation that was not covered by the original. Cells with html fragments can cause
mime_content_type
to identify the file astext\html
. Original fix was to ignore mime_content_type when file extension is 'csv' or 'tsv'. However, if the file does not have one of those extensions, it will be rejected by Csv Reader as invalid mimetype. This PR adds text\html to the list of valid mimetypes.I imagine that this type of problem might occur for other mimetypes. If any of those are reported in future, it might be better to just add a "suppress mimetype" check option, rather than extending the list forever. Html is unusual in that its rules are so lax, which is why it seems appropriate to add it here.
Note that IOFactory may still identify a file as Html even when intended as Csv. The sample associated with this issue does not fall into this category, but one of the unit tests on this ticket does. The file will still be read correctly by Csv Reader, but IOFactory load may cause it to use Html Reader instead.
