I propose to change the mapping of file extension .js to mime type "text/javascript" from "application/javascript. "text/javascript" is the currently documented best practice in the whatwg HTML spec. https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/scripting.html#scriptingLanguages:javascript-mime-type |

It should be noted that the HTML spec also says: The term "JavaScript" is used to refer to ECMA-262, rather than the official term ECMAScript, since the term JavaScript is more widely known. Similarly, the MIME type used to refer to JavaScript in this specification is text/javascript, since that is the most commonly used type, despite it being an officially obsoleted type according to RFC 4329. https://html.spec.whatwg.org/#dependencies:willful-violation |

By RCF 4329 https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4329#page-9 text/javascript is obsoleted, application/javascript is a part of the standard. WhatWg is a controversial group. Their specs don't always follow official standards but Python does. Sorry, I should decline the proposal. Feel free to raise an issue again if IETF will change their opinion. |

There is a IETF proposal that would make "text/javascript" no longer obsolete. Will revisit at the point this lands https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-dispatch-javascript-mjs/ |

We can return to the question when (and if) the draft will be accepted. |

Hey All, I'd like to reopen this. We are almost done with the IETF standardization of .mjs, and part of this process is making obsolete application/javascript in favor of text/javascript. --> https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-dispatch-javascript-mjs/ |

Myles, it looks like the draft 14 contains a mismatch in 6.2.1: > # 6.2.1. text/ecmascript > > Type name: application > Subtype name: ecmascript In header it's `text`, in details it's `application`. Is it intended? I believe that a typo wouldn't pass though fourteen revisions but nevertheless, just to be safe. |
