Description Marcos Caceres 2023-05-14 19:57:20 PDT 
According to HTML, when a web manifest is fetched, it should enforce the "JSON MIME type" type:
https://html.spec.whatwg.org/#link-type-manifest

Specifically: 

> To process this type of linked resource given a link element el, boolean success, response response, and byte sequence bodyBytes:

>  If response's Content-Type metadata is not a JSON MIME type, then set success to false.

Where:
A JSON MIME type is any MIME type whose subtype ends in "+json" or whose essence is "application/json" or "text/json".
