Node.js res.setHeader('content-type', 'text/javascript'); pushing the response javascript as file download

Use application/javascript as content type instead of text/javascript

text/javascript is mentioned obsolete. See reference docs.

Also see this question on SO.

UPDATE:

I have tried executing the code you have given and the below didn't work.

res.setHeader('content-type', 'text/javascript');
res.send(JS_Script);

This is what worked for me.

res.setHeader('content-type', 'text/javascript');
res.end(JS_Script);

As robertklep has suggested, please refer to the node http docs, there is no response.send() there.

You can directly set the content type like below:

res.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': 'text/plain'});

For reference go through the nodejs Docs link.
