I am creating a I/O Slave (for now "hello" is the protocol name
I am using).

I have found that if I create a TransferJob by calling the following:

  transferJob = KIO::get( "hello:foo" );
vs
  transferJob = KIO::get( "hello://foo" );

the 'mimetype' method of the I/O slave gets invoked for
the first call -- get("hello:foo") -- but not the second.

The second call uses the defaultMimetype value specified in
the hello.protocol file in the /usr/share/services directory.

Any clue why this is?
