I decided to take a stab that this by aggregating the mimeTypes in the Desktop and Mobile requests tables where type="script". You can see the query for this below:
SELECT mimeType, count(*) freq
FROM (
SELECT mimeType
FROM `httparchive.runs.2017_10_15_requests`
WHERE type = "script"
UNION ALL
SELECT mimeType
FROM `httparchive.runs.2017_10_15_requests_mobile`
WHERE type = "script"
)
GROUP BY mimeType
ORDER BY freq DESC
Overall there are 353 mime types detected, with the first 6 accounting for 99.53%. You can see the most frequent mimeType’s along with the percent and cumulative percent below:
The requests table also includes the extension, and we can analyze this further by adding it into the query:
SELECT mimeType, ext, count(*) freq
FROM (
SELECT mimeType, ext
FROM `httparchive.runs.2017_10_15_requests`
WHERE type = "script"
UNION ALL
SELECT mimeType, ext
FROM `httparchive.runs.2017_10_15_requests_mobile`
WHERE type = "script"
)
GROUP BY mimeType, ext
ORDER BY freq DESC
The full list of all 353 mime types is below, but you’ll notice that the 5th most frequent one is null. It seems there are quite a few sites loading JavaScript without a mimetype - which could be problematic if you plan to restrict based on mime type…

Exploring the ~ 2.25% of all scripts in the HTTP Archive that had no mimeType associated with them, I found they mainly fell into 3 categories:
- JavaScript from Third Party Ads
- JS or JSON responses from social sharing functionality such as twitter, pinterest, etc.
- 3rd party beacons that returned 0 bytes
