Not documented, but I don't think this can change to soon:

From registry read the default value for
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\http\shell\open\command

This will give you the application handling the http protocol
(aka the browser).

If you try to retrieve the application associated to htm/html,
you may end with a HTML editor.
