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:

```sql
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:

```sql
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
