Make application/x-javascript MIME type editable

[Alexander Limi]

Now that CMF finally converts .js files into application/x-javascript FSFile objects (which is the correct MIME type / object type for JS), it would be nice if the textarea edit mechanism inside FSFile that currently matches text/* could also recognize application/x-javascript as an editable TTW type - so it is editable when customized.

Right now you can't edit JS that has the correct MIME type in Zope, which is a bit annoying. :)

This causes a lot of problems for us since we are trying to keep DTML out of JS, but people can not customize things anymore in the CMF.

See http://collector.zope.org/CMF/183 for more details.

No, this is a Zope issue. The issue is about OFS.File, which should be editable TTW with the application/x-javascript content type, just like it is with a text/XXX content type right now.

I'll look into it.

On Zope-HEAD and the Zope-2_7-branch the test for "editability" now looks for content type starting with "text" or those ending with "javascript".

Thanks, Jens - much appreciated.

Greeaat, finally got a better understanding of how this <a href="http://mimeapplication.org/x-javascript.html">MIME Application/x-javascript</a> works.
