trac uses uncommon mimetype for javascript

[Felix Schwarz <felix.schwarz@…>]

trac uses text/x-javascript in its HTTP headers for Javascript files. Apache's default is application/x-javascript, many others use text/javascript.

Due to this uncommon mimetype, Firebug does not know anything about it and you can not debug these files. Changing the mimetype in trac solves that issue.

[Christian Boos]

According to ​RFC:4329#section-3, application/javascript should be preferred.

Would that also work for Firebug?

[Felix Schwarz <felix.schwarz@…>]

application/javascript is perfectly ok as well.

[Remy Blank]

Ok, I'll do that.

Note that I had to do it as well while working on query.js…

I had some trouble getting any script to be displayed in the Script list in Firebug, but after I disabled all other plugins, it works.

Now re-enabling them one by one, …

Ok, committed the above in r8617 (could eventually be backported).

[Remy Blank]

Too bad, lost the race ;-)

[Felix Schwarz <felix.schwarz@…>]

you can still commit this to 0.11stable (would be great actually as I'm developing mostly on 0.11). :-)

Replying to Felix Schwarz <felix.schwarz@…>:

Done in [8619].
