I did some research and I couldn't find a post that was specific to the Google Maps V3 Javascript API, so I'm posting a new question. Please let me know if there is a more appropriate place for this question.
My Issue:
Without touching anything, my website, utilizing the Google Maps V3 Javascript API, started giving me this error:
Resource interpreted as Script but transferred with MIME type image/png Refused to execute script from 'http://mt1.googleapis.com/vt?pb=!1m4!1m3!1i15!2i9148!3i11958!1m4!1m3!1i15!2…2m1!1e47!12m3!1e37!2m1!1ssmartmaps!4e3&callback=_xdc_._63mj9u&token=110320' because its MIME type ('image/png') is not executable, and strict MIME type checking is enabled.
I started getting this in Chrome's javascript console completely out of the blue. Could this be related to too many requests to Google Maps? I was doing some tinkering on the map page and refreshing somewhat frequently, but never touched any of the working script dealing with how the map or its tiles are rendered - so I'm very confused.
Has anyone run into this issue and/or know of a solution?
UPDATE As implied in a comment below, this is not an 'ignorable' issue as it is affecting how the map tiles are rendered. Others are beginning to experience this kind of issue as well, as noted in this post. It is also an issue that is affecting other maps I've initiated on other websites (example).
