[issue31670] Associate .wasm with application/wasm

[Brad Nelson]

Brad Nelson  added the comment:

We have a provisional registration for application/wasm now with IANA:
https://www.iana.org/assignments/provisional-standard-media-types/provisional-standard-media-types.xhtml

This is also shipping in Firefox and Chrome.

Would it be possible to merge this?

Thanks!

[issue31670] Associate .wasm with application/wasm

[Brad Nelson]

New submission from Brad Nelson :

WebAssembly is tentatively spec'ed to require the application/wasm mime type 
for download sources:
https://github.com/WebAssembly/design/blob/master/Web.md

The mimetype module should associate .wasm with this mimetype to allow users of 
SimpleHTTPServer etc. to be able to easily use WebAssembly.

Brad Nelson  added the comment:

Tentative might be an understatement.
There was 4 browser sign-off on using that mime type within the WebAssembly CG, 
which has drafted the spec so far.
We're in the process of handing v1 of the spec off to the WebAssembly Working 
Group on our way to a good and proper W3C REC.
However, use of the mime type is already shipping in Chrome and I believe on 
the way with other browsers (and just got added to our shared toolchain).

That said we should get a proper allocation with IANA.
I've added an agenda item to our next Working Group meeting to have the group 
explicitly empower me to approach IANA:
https://github.com/WebAssembly/meetings/blob/master/2017/WG-10-23.md

Be back in month with a IANA request email to reference.

Assuming we've sorted out a proper allocation, do you have a sense of if 
getting the file type into python2.7 is likely?

Thanks!
