1416392 - worker script loads set wrong accept header

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1417463

(Core :: DOM: Workers, enhancement, P2)

Description

I wrote a glitch to echo our FetchEvent attributes:

https://fetch-event-echo.glitch.me/

I noticed while using this that we set a pretty bogus accept header for worker scripts:

accept,text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8

It seems completely wrong to be advertising text/html here.

Note, if you want to try the glitch, you need to manually load a worker through the web console:

  var w = new Worker('worker-location.js');

Per step 1.3 here we should be setting "*/*" for worker scripts:
