the HTML script tag and non-JS content - Firefox

Question

It appears this code will request the file in Chrome and IE but not in Firefox.

Answer 1

The canonical way to specify script is

or

There is no reason the browser should load unknown mime into a script tag and it will be strictly browser specific whether or not it will allow/ignore the type attribute

It would be a matter of testing to see what the browser will do if you actually send

content-type:text/javascript

regardless of type attribute
