https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=216934 Summary: ECMAScript and JavaScript media types in mime.types file Product: SUSE Linux 10.1 Version: Final Platform: All URL: http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc4329.txt OS/Version: SuSE Linux 10.1 Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Basesystem AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: sierkb@gmx.de QAContact: qa@suse.de The use of the former MIME Types text/ecmascript, text/javascript and text/x-javascript is discouraged (marked obsolete) in favour of application/ecmascript (ECMAScript) and application/javascript (JavaScript). RFC 4329 "Scripting Media Types" defines valid MIME-Types for ECMAScript and JavaScript and marks which ones are invalid. See ftp://ftp.rfc-editor.org/in-notes/rfc4329.txt for details. With respect to RFC 4329, http://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/application/ and http://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/text/, please add the MIME type for ECMAScript, and change the JavaScript MIME type from "application/x-javascript" to "application/javascript". application/ecmascript es application/javascript js See also the appropriate Apache bugs http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=40299 and http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=35551 Most browser vendors (except Microsoft) have made their homework relating this issue. The Server and OS vendors shouldn't be far behind.
