How to Set URL Mime Type in JS

If you want to set the MIME type of a URL in JavaScript, there are a few ways to do it:

1. Using the XMLHttpRequest object

You can use the XMLHttpRequest object to send a request to the server and specify the MIME type of the response:


var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhr.open('GET', 'https://example.com/', true);
xhr.overrideMimeType('text/xml');
xhr.onreadystatechange = function() {
  if (xhr.readyState == 4 && xhr.status == 200) {
    console.log(xhr.responseText);
  }
};
xhr.send();

This code sets the MIME type of the response to "text/xml".

2. Using the fetch API

You can also use the fetch API to make a request and set the MIME type:


fetch('https://example.com/', {
  headers: {
    'Accept': 'text/xml'
  }
})
.then(function(response) {
  return response.text();
})
.then(function(text) {
  console.log(text);
});

In this code, the "Accept" header is set to "text/xml".

3. Using the anchor element

If you want to set the MIME type of a URL that will be opened in a new tab or window, you can create an anchor element and set its "type" attribute:


var a = document.createElement('a');
a.href = 'https://example.com/';
a.type = 'text/xml';
a.target = '_blank';
document.body.appendChild(a);
a.click();

When the anchor element is clicked, the URL will be opened in a new tab or window with the specified MIME type.

These are three ways to set the MIME type of a URL in JavaScript. Choose the one that best suits your needs.
