               Where is somewhere ?

  Since my name is nobody :
 ----------------------------------------------

 From squid.conf.default :

# TAG: mime_table
# Pathname to Squid's MIME table. You shouldn't need to change
# this, but the default file contains examples and formatting
# information if you do.
#
#Default:
# mime_table /etc/squid/mime.conf

So it's highly unlikely that SQUID does not use this info
for 'http' operations.
Are you using the default setting for this value , and or
is the specified file readable by squid_effective_user ?
