We have been developing a Ruby on Rails application. We have recently re-deployed this application behind an Apache proxy which uses HTTPS.
Since we've done this one of our users gets sent to the following page when trying to use the app: http://shell.windows.com/fileassoc/mimeassoc.asp?mime=text/javascript, which says:
MIME Type: text/javascript
Description: UnKnown
Windows does not recognize this MIME type.
Does anyone know under what circumstances IE would claim not to know what to do with a text/javascript file? It's just this one user so far.
Windows 7 / IE 8 and XPsp2 / IE8
EDIT Adding the full HTTP response that IE barfs on

Internet Explorer When the "Internet Options" window opens, select the Security tab. On the "Security" tab, make sure the Internet zone is selected, and then click on the "Custom level..." button. In the Security Settings – Internet Zone dialog box, click Enable for Active Scripting in the Scripting section.
Internet Explorer 11 doesn't support JavaScript versions later than ES5. If you want to use the syntax and features of ECMAScript 2015 or later, or TypeScript, you have two options as described in this article. You can also combine these two techniques.
A media type (also known as a Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions or MIME type) indicates the nature and format of a document, file, or assortment of bytes. MIME types are defined and standardized in IETF's RFC 6838.
You should try application/javascript.
