Change JavaScript MIME type

[euj1n0ng]

A minor fix for successful testing.

text/javascript is a recommended standard (both by IETF and by MDN). application/javascript is obsolete.

This change will break this test as it's testing the return from the HTTP request.

If you want to change the MIME type of the actual request you'll have to update Hio, I believe

Yeah, you are right. At a glance, falcon still uses application/javascript for the JS MIME type in the simulation of HTTP request. However, surprisingly, on Ubuntu machine the test was failed on the stale MIME type while there was no problem on a Mac machine.

If you want, I'll close this PR. Of course, you can directly close it.

So we can close this issue here I assume?

[euj1n0ng]

Yes.

Hello @euj1n0ng & @pfeairheller!
While we are looking to enforce Falcon's standard media types for some common file types, you can absolutely override this in your application if you wish.

Just add the desired types to your application's app.resp_options, for instance,

app.resp_options.static_media_types['.js'] = 'text/javascript'

Update: you should now get @euj1n0ng's improvement automatically via Falcon 4.0.0+.
