Wrong head, I think - a HEAD request (']') shows text/plain.

I think you probably saved the file with a .htm(l) extension, in
which case it didn't (for me) matter what was in the <META ...>
tag, it showed up rendered. When I renamed the file without the
extension, it showed up as source, again irrespective of the META
content.
That's without -force_html, of course, which *will* make a
difference rendering a local file, right?
