In order to solve [Users are not able to browse rar files using Return (although it works for 7z, zip files, etc.)](https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=411330), the Internet Media Type "application/vnd.rar" is recognized in `KrArcBaseManager::getShortTypeFromMime(const QString &mime)`. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION In <https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Basics_of_HTTP/MIME_types/Complete_list_of_MIME_types> the type of rar files is "application/x-rar-compressed", but in the aforementioned page it's also declared that IANA is the official registry of MIME media types and maintains a [list of all the official MIME types](http://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/media-types.xhtml) and precisely in that place what it's stated is "application/vnd.rar", with a link to https://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/application/vnd.rar where it's written 1. Deprecated alias names for this type: application/x-rar-compressed Note: "application/vnd.rar" is already used in Krusader, in `KrServices::generateKrarcArchiveMimetypes()`.
