IETF RFC 9239 requires Javascript MIME type to be text/javascript

Created on 4 June 2022, over 2 years ago
Updated 1 February 2023, almost 2 years ago

Problem/Motivation

IETF published https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc9239.pdf

It updates JavaScript MIME type registrations to align with reality:

  • The JavaScript MIME type is now unambiguously text/javascript.
  • .mjs is now a registered filename extension, specifically for JavaScript modules.

AFAICS, Drupal uses the now deprecated application/javascript in its internals and in MIME type guessing.

Proposed resolution

Adjust Drupal to reflect the standard.
