Description Bj 2005-06-29 20:27:01 UTC 
The current mime.types file has an entry

  application/x-javascript js

Use of such media types is discouraged per RFC 2048, section 2.1.4; the IESG-
approved media type application/javascript should be used instead (see 
https://datatracker.ietf.org/public/pidtracker.cgi?command=view_id&dTag=7686 
for details).

RFC 4329 "Scripting Media Types" now is published since April 2006.

Comment 3 Sierk Bornemann 2007-02-12 18:18:14 UTC 
When does this bug get fixed in Apache?
All major browser vendors (except Microsoft) did do their homework and did
adjust the new MIMEType for JavaScript/ECMAScript.
Comment 4 Roy T. Fielding 2007-08-30 11:12:13 UTC 
Fixed in all versions.
