Endpoint /token reponse with content-type "text/javascript"

My app is using the authorization code flow, so after getting auth. code its requesting access token through token endpoint, Its returning a response with json content: "{ access_token: ... }", but content-type header is "text/javascript",  is it right? Thanks in advance

    We do still return the older "text/javascript" by default for historical reasons, in order to not break old integrations.

    If you send the "Accept: application/json" request header though, you'll get "application/json" instead.
