[users@httpd] application/x-javascript vs application/javascript
Hello,
Why in some Apache httpd, JavaScript is sent by Content Type =
application/x-javascript, but some httpd is application/javascript?
Both are 2.2.
Thanks.

The mime type of a file sent from disk is determined by apache using the
file extension and looking it up in the mime.types file referenced in
the apache config with the directive TypesConfig[1], which defaults to
'conf/mime.types', relative to the ServerRoot.
In the stock apache mime.types, .js files are configured as such:
> $ egrep js$ /usr/local/etc/apache22/mime.types
application/javascript js
If you are getting a different mime-type, then that is because either
your mime.types file has a different setting, or it is being overridden
with an explicit
AddType application/x-javascript .js
Cheers
