If your proxy server or container adds the following header when serving the  js file  it will force some browsers such as Chrome to perform strict checking of MIME types   X-Content-Type-Options  nosniff   Remove this header to prevent Chrome performing the MIME check

I encountered this error using IIS 7 0 with a custom 404 error page  although I suspect this will happen with any 404 page  The server returned an html 404 response with a text html mime type which could not  rightly  be executed

For the record and Google search users  If you are a  NET Core developer  you should set the content-types manually  because their default value is null or empty   var provider   new FileExtensionContentTypeProvider    app UseStaticFiles new StaticFileOptions       ContentTypeProvider   provider

By adding a callback argument  you are telling jQuery that you want to make a request for JSONP using a script element instead of a request for JSON using XMLHttpRequest   JSONP is not JSON  It is a JavaScript program   Change your server so it outputs the right MIME type for JSONP which is application javascript    While you are at it  stop telling jQuery that you are expecting JSON as that is contradictory  dataType   jsonp
