Golang and JavaScript modules

Question

I want to use Polymer LitElement with a Go backend. With LitElement I implement the web components in JavaScript modules! For routing on the server-side I use Gorilla Mux like this

mux := mux.NewRouter()
mux.PathPrefix("/").Handler(http.FileServer(http.Dir("./wwwroot")))

This loads static html files correctly. When a html file references a js file that implements a web component I get the following error (in Chrome):

Failed to load module script: The server responded with a non-JavaScript MIME type of "text/plain". Strict MIME type checking is enforced for module scripts per HTML spec.

When I rename my component module to have the extension mjs the file loads correctly but then the module for LitElement fails to load with the same error. Since I have no influence on the file extensions of all third party JavaScript modules I don't know how to fix this.

(I guess I would experience the same problems if I were using Polymer 3 instead of LitElement)

Any ideas?

Update

Here is the output from requesting the lit-element.js JavaScript module with curl

PS C:\Test\Polymer\LitElement> curl http://localhost:8082/node_modules/lit-element/lit-element.js

Are you sure you hit the right end point ?

See that small example (that you can try on your host to give a check)

$ tree
.
├── main.go
└── wwwroot
    └── test.js

1 directory, 2 files

$ cat main.go 
package main

import (
    "net/http"

    "github.com/gorilla/mux"
)

func main() {
    mux := mux.NewRouter()
    mux.PathPrefix("/").Handler(http.FileServer(http.Dir("./wwwroot")))

    http.ListenAndServe(":8080", mux)
}


$  cat wwwroot/test.js

$ go run main.go &
[1] 11841
$ curl -v http://localhost:8080/test.js
