I\'m trying to access a script as JSON via AJAX, which works fine on Safari and other browsers but unfortunately will not execute in Chrome. It\'s coming with the following error:
Refused to execute script from \'*\' because its MIME type (\'application/json\') is not executable, and strict MIME type checking is enabled.
Here\'s the request:
$.ajax({
url: \"http://some_url/test.json?callback=?\",
type: \"GET\",
dataType: \'json\',
cache: true,
success: function (data, status, error) {
console.log(\'success\', data);
},
error: function (data, status, error) {
console.log(\'error\', data, status, error);
}
});
Does anyone have a workaround for this?
By adding a callback argument, you are telling jQuery that you want to make a request for JSONP using a script element instead of a request for JSON using XMLHttpRequest.
JSONP is not JSON. It is a JavaScript program.
Change your server so it outputs the right MIME type for JSONP which is application/javascript
.
(While you are at it, stop telling jQuery that you are expecting JSON as that is contradictory: dataType: \'jsonp\'
).
If your proxy server or container adds the following header when serving the .js file, it will force some browsers such as Chrome to perform strict checking of MIME types:
X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff
Remove this header to prevent Chrome performing the MIME check.
FYI, I\'ve got the same error from Chrome console. I thought my AJAX function causing it, but I uncommented my minified script from /javascripts/ajax-vanilla.min.js
to /javascripts/ajax-vanilla.js
. But in reality the source file was at /javascripts/src/ajax-vanilla.js
. So in Chrome you getting bad MIME type error even if the file cannot be found. In this case, the error message is described as text/plain
bad MIME type.
I encountered this error using IIS 7.0 with a custom 404 error page, although I suspect this will happen with any 404 page. The server returned an html 404 response with a text/html mime type which could not (rightly) be executed.
For the record and Google search users,
If you are a .NET Core developer, you should set the content-types manually, because their default value is null or empty:
var provider = new FileExtensionContentTypeProvider();
app.UseStaticFiles(new StaticFileOptions
{
ContentTypeProvider = provider
});
In my case, I use
$.getJSON(url, function(json) { ... });
to make the request (to Flickr\'s API), and I got the same MIME error.
Like the answer above suggested, adding the following code:
$.ajaxSetup({ dataType: \"jsonp\" });
Fixed the issue and I no longer see the MIME type error in Chrome\'s console.
if application is hosted on IIS, make sure Static Content is installed. Control Panel > Programs > Turn Windows features on or off > Internet Information Services > World Wide Web Services > Common HTTP Features > Static Content.
I faced this problem when trying to run an existing application on a new IIS 10.0 installation
