Firefox bug: "Worker" load ignores Content-Type version parameter

So,

  http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-archive/2008Jul/0009.html I
wondered whether this would work with "Web Workers". Well, first I ran
into https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=683280 apparently
Firefox does not like loading "Workers" from host names with only one
component. Working around that, my script still would not load, Fire-
fox apparently ignores the version parameter in

  Content-Type: application/javascript;version=1.7

With <script> elements this is no problem because you can use the type
parameter there where it would recognize the parameter, but that is no
option with "Workers". I assume you need a switch at all due to the JS
equivalent of the C++ ">>" problem, and only "existing" scripts, which
in case of "Workers" didn't apply as reasoning.

regards,
