application/javascript is deprecated

[JoakimCh]

Per the IANA Media Types registry, RFC 9239, and the HTML specification, JavaScript content should always be served using the MIME type text/javascript. No other MIME types are considered valid for JavaScript, and using any MIME type other than text/javascript may result in scripts that do not load or run.

What else does it use that is deprecated? I didn't check.

Hey @lukeed , 'just stumbled across your project. It's always nice to see other folks working in the MIME space.

I ran into this same issue with mime. The problem is that mime-db doesn't currently include extensions for the text/javascript type. Or, rather, it does but that change hasn't been published yet. (Change was in May 2022, last release of mime-db was Feb 2022).

Maybe file an issue with the mime-db project to see if they'll push a new release for you.

FWIW, this issue prompted me to remove mime-db from mime's package.json#dependencies and, instead, have the build script pull directly from the mime-db source on GH.

On a related note, you may want to take a look at my mime-score module. It contains the logic mime uses to select which mime-type an extension should map to when when there are extension conflicts. I've got a PR to switch mime-types use this logic as well... if/when I find time to work on it.

Yeah, mime-db looks correct:

I think we probably just need a new release of mrmime?

thank you Luke!
