[issue34875] Change .js mime to "text/javascript"
Myles Borins added the comment: Hey All, I'd like to reopen this. We are almost done with the IETF standardization of .mjs, and part of this process is making obsolete application/javascript in favor of text/javascript. --> https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-dispatch-javascript-mjs/ -- resolution: rejected -> status: closed -> open ___ Python tracker <https://bugs.python.org/issue34875> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
[issue31715] Add mimetype for extension .mjs
Myles Borins added the comment: I see that when this landed it appears that it was removed from landing on "Python 2.7, Python 3.6, Python 3.7". Is there any chance to revisit this decision? I dug into the mimetype code and it doesn't appear that there is a way to rely on operating system mimetypes for systems aside from Windows... as such this is going to be a fairly large experience gap for people developing front-end applications that utilize the file extension on any version other than 3.8, which will likely take quite a while to be distributed as a default in various OS distributions. -- nosy: +mylesborins ___ Python tracker <https://bugs.python.org/issue31715> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
[issue31715] Add mimetype for extension .mjs
Myles Borins added the comment: There are a number of tutorials that suggest using the .mjs extension for working with ESM modules for front end development. https://developers.google.com/web/fundamentals/primers/modules <https://developers.google.com/web/fundamentals/primers/modules> https://hacks.mozilla.org/2018/03/es-modules-a-cartoon-deep-dive/ <https://hacks.mozilla.org/2018/03/es-modules-a-cartoon-deep-dive/> There are many tutorials that suggest web developers use `python -m SimpleHTTPServer` as a way to spin up a quick development server. If a .mjs file is not served with the correct mime type <https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/infrastructure.html#javascript-mime-type> the browser will throw when trying to load the module, and the error is not the most obvious if developers are not aware of what mime types even are. As such I would like propose that this is a bug fix, rather than a feature, as popular browser workflow is going to be broken without an obvious way to fix it for anyone using python right now. > On Dec 5, 2018, at 2:23 PM, Christian Heimes wrote: > > > Christian Heimes added the comment: > > It's technically a new feature.

[issue31715] Add mimetype for extension .mjs
Myles Borins added the comment: Thanks for cc'ing the other folks. I help run the Node.js release + LTS team... so I 100% understand the balance necessary to keep a stable API. In this particular case I would gauge that this has a near 0 case for breakage, but leaving it unpatched has a high risk of breaking user expectations https://github.com/search?q=extension%3Amjs+function&type=Code This is a really heavy handed search against github showing 13k+ files with the .mjs extension that include the word "function" -- ___ Python tracker <https://bugs.python.org/issue31715> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

Myles Borins added the comment: Thanks for chiming in R. David Murray > Think of the absence of the mimetype rule as a bug, rather than its presence > as a feature. Very much appreciate this sentiment.
