'Apache adds data to output of javascript file
The weirdest thing, two of my javascript files have stopped being served due to incorrect mime type from apache. All my JS files have text/javascript, but two of them get application/octet-stream.
When troubleshooting I noticed that when I connect to the web server, it outputs "31c2" before the content of the file (see image). This is not an invisible character in the actual file, verified by hexdump. I am assuming that this is the source of the incorrect mime type reporting, but where does this come from? I noticed that after the file is output, apache also adds "0" on a single line.
How do I figure out what causes this? I might add that this file was last edited in 2017 and has worked flawlessly until today or yesterday, and I can't understand why.
Here are two requests side by side to a working .js file (left) and the one that reports incorrect mime type (right). There is no .htaccess file in any parent directory either.
