Hi Michael,
This mailing list is for development of Cordova, not for support.
Support questions can be asked on GitHub discussions:
https://github.com/apache/cordova/discussions
To quickly answer your question however, cordova-ios@6+ uses the WKWebView.
It does not use any HTTP server. It does use WKSchemeURLHandler to serve
content, which behaves similar to an HTTP server but it is NOT an HTTP
server. I do not know if it will "handle" the right MIME type out of the
box.
I'd probably give it a test using a sample hello world app to see if it
will just work. If it doesn't work, adding support might be possible.
The area of the code would be in
https://github.com/apache/cordova-ios/blob/master/CordovaLib/Classes/Public/CDVURLSchemeHandler.m#L38
which is responsible for handling URL requests on the scheme and it has
an opportunity to set response headers I'm pretty sure.
But I'm also not sure how we can differentiate between a `<script src>`
and `<script type="module">`
And if it doesn't work and if you're interesting tackling this issue,
then that's exactly what this mailing list is for ;)
Kind regards,
Norman

Hi,
I’m trying to confirm if cordova-ios 6.x accommodates es6 modules, both the import
syntax as well <script type=”module”>.
My previous attempts with the older wkwebviewengine plugin were blocked because
ES6 modules had to be served from an http server to get the right MIME type,
else the webview rejects it.
Before I repeat the frustration, has anyone tried this? Does the current
cordova-ios 6.x use a backend webserver, thus the “localhost” I see in the
source code (but I’m not seeing anything that looks like an http server…)?
Thanks,
