What did you do?

Given a folder with the following files:

index.html:

<html>
<body>
<script type="module" src="test.mjs"></script>
</body>
</html>

and test.mjs (see: https://developers.google.com/web/fundamentals/primers/modules)

console.log("hi!");

My code serves the above with http.FileServer, and I navigate to / in my browser, opening index.html

What did you expect to see?

I expected hi to be printed in the javascript console

What did you see instead?

The following error in chrome:

Failed to load module script: The server responded with a non-JavaScript MIME type of "text/plain". Strict MIME type checking is enforced for module scripts per HTML spec.

This is because .mjs is not a recognized mimetype. This can easily be worked around by manually adding .mjs to the mime database:

mime.AddExtensionType(".mjs", "application/javascript")

Or, technically, one can just use .js - but .mjs seems to be commonly used.

However, since es modules are a standard, and will become more common in the future, it would be nice to have the mimetype built in.

Is there an official spec that's proposing standardizing that mime type for that extension? (something more formal that the page you linked)

That's a good question.

Mime

mjs Extension

I did not find anything "official", other than common usage:

With #31327 landed perhaps this should go in, too.

Sure. Send a change. Makes sense to also do it in Go 1.13 to match #31327.

Looks like it was already done in https://golang.org/cl/169502

Closing :)

It looks like the mime type added was text/javascript in mime/type.go line 72, which was obsoleted, and replaced with application/javascript in RFC 4329.

It is my understanding the mimetype should therefore be application/javascript.
This is corroborated by the IANA website, which uses application/javascript as the only mimetype for javascript (https://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/media-types.xhtml).

Nevertheless, it is great to hear that the mimetype was added!

Change https://golang.org/cl/175459 mentions this issue: mime: update .mjs MIME type to application/json instead of text/json

mime: update .mjs MIME type from text/ to application/javascript
db2bf15 
.mjs should be the same MIME type as .js, and RFC 4329 says that
text/javascript is obsolete, even back in 2006:

    https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4329#section-7.1

I didn't notice this when I recently reviewed CL 169502.

Also, re-sort it.
