HTMLFile does not inherit from "Acquisition.Implicit".
Therefore, HTMLFile objects do not have an acquisition context.

On the other hand, they should not need one, provided
they get a correct "client" parameter (i.e. first parameter).
Probably, that is your real problem: "index_html" is
  probably called with "client=None".
