IE9 script response blocked due to mime type mismatch

Question

I use the following code snippet to load data from google fusion table as json.

var fileref = document.createElement(\"script\");
fileref.setAttribute(\"type         


        

Answer 1

The problem is that Google is sending an X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff declaration and returning a JavaScript file without a JavaScript MIME type. This can only be fixed by either removing the nosniff declaration or by fixing the MIME type to indicate that the file is, in fact, script.

I've sent mail to Google about this one.

Answer 2

I'd just take out the fileref.setAttribute("type", "text/javascript");, since the likelyhood the mime-type will be updated by the server is unpredictable.
