Currently, the MediaWiki software uses a hard-coded media type (MIME type) of 'text/javascript' for all scripts in the JavaScript language. No type of this name has been registered with IANA by now, and some users probably want to use a more correct type of, for example, 'application/x-javascript' until this issue is resolved. The attached patch adds the ability to configure the media type which shall be used for scripts in the JavaScript language. This is a good idea as work on getting media types for this language registered has already begun. The default value set by this patch is 'text/javascript'; users can override it in LocalSettings.php as usual. The patch is for 1.4.3 or the REL1_4 branch (will work on both at the moment). It will not apply cleanly to CVS HEAD.

Thank you, W3C, for using non-assigned types as the only examples in your HTML specification documentation. :P
The diff fails on HEAD (works on REL1_4).

Created attachment 493 [details] Patch against CVS HEAD as of 2005-05-04T10:33:08+0200 This patch applies cleanly against CVS HEAD as of a few seconds ago.
Created attachment 501 [details] Fixed version of patch for HEAD branch Sorry, the previous patch had bugs in it: there were a few '$' characters missing due to a copy-and-paste error. I created this fixed version by inserting them into the patch file.
Applied to HEAD, thanks for the patch.
