I am using iframe in my website. There is a <script src='/demo.js'></script> reference inside the html in the iframe. In the server side, the content of the demo.js is as below:

window.location.replace('https://i3dfjejwog6.cloudfront.net/demo/index.js');

it just redirects the request to a different url. When I load the website, the browser will download the index.js from above redirect url instead of loading it as a javascript file. How can I make the browser to load the file as javascript?

I have checked this post: How do I include a JavaScript file in another JavaScript file? but it doesn't work because I don't have permission to update demo.js file so I am looking for a redirect solution.

Just put that URL in your script tag instead of demo.js? – Alexander O'Mara Dec 21 '18 at 22:42
Otherwise, check out dynamic script loading at the duplicate target. – Alexander O'Mara Dec 21 '18 at 22:44
@AlexanderO'Mara I don't have permission to update `demo.js` file. Is there another solution? – Joey Yi Zhao Dec 21 '18 at 23:36
If you redirect to a script tag, it will not execute. It needs to be loaded from a script tag – Alexander O'Mara Dec 21 '18 at 23:42
Does this mean I can't solve this issue until I am able to modify the html file ? – Joey Yi Zhao Dec 21 '18 at 23:44
Or modify `https://i3dfjejwog6.cloudfront.net/demo/index.js` so that it returns HTML code and response headers. – Alexander O'Mara Dec 21 '18 at 23:47
Do you mean write html code inside the index.js? – Joey Yi Zhao Dec 22 '18 at 02:51
I mean to serve an HTML response at that URL, rather than a JavaScript one. – Alexander O'Mara Dec 22 '18 at 02:54
the problem I have is that I don't have permission to update the html file. – Joey Yi Zhao Dec 22 '18 at 03:41
