What's the filetype of the src file? As has already been stated, the 
issue appears to be in the server and there's nothing you can do in the 
client to fix this one.

I would guess that either:

a) The resource is in a .htm[l] instead of a .js file; or
b) The resource is dynamically generated and the generating server side 
script isn't setting the correct mime type.

Although it is also possible that an idiot has configured their server to 
send *.js as "text/html" instead of "application/javascript"
