Description Chris Barran 2012-02-24 13:35:39 UTC

The mime type for javascript for the expires by type filter is documented as text/javascript.  Tomcat actually serves javascript with the mime-type application/javascript.   


http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/config/filter.html

Says
 <init-param>
    <param-name>ExpiresByType text/javascript</param-name>
    <param-value>access plus 1 month</param-value>
 </init-param>

Should say

 <init-param>
    <param-name>ExpiresByType application/javascript</param-name>
    <param-value>access plus 1 month</param-value>
 </init-param>

Actually the text says access plus 10 minutes or something but you get the idea :-)

Thanks. We have forgot this when we updated the mime type definitions for TC 7 in web.xml.

Fixed now in trunk and TC 7 (r1293832 and r1293837).
