Hide javascript folder on server

javascript

I've noticed on some sites, when I go to eg. www.example.com/js where there javascript is stored, it is forbidden.

On my website currently, if users browse to www.mysite.com/js they will see all of my javascript files nicely arranged into folders. How can I prevent them from browsing this directory and still keep my javascript working correctly?

PS. I know the user downloads the javascript when they use my site and there is no way to prevent someone from reading the source but I would like to prevent what I am describing, as I see other sites have achieved this.

Thanks.

If you're using Apache here is some helpful documentation:

Javascript Errors only on Production Server

Open the full URLs of the source files (...ScriptResource.axd...) in a new browser window. You should see some JavaScript content. If not, the asp.net ajax components are not correctly installed.

Sys is not defined

indicates that the Ajax client side component is not there, the sys class can not be found.

If you are using .net 3.5 it is part of the framework and they problem should be in web.config, when using .net 2.0 you need ASP.NET AJAX 1.0, if you install this msi on the server, the files go into the GAC, the central place for .net components. You could put the single file System.Web.Extensions.dll into your bin directory without installing the msi, but you still need the correct settings in the web.config file. The site ajax.asp.net has lots of information about all this.

New Relic JavaScript

This is the RUM JavaScript snippet.
See https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/features/how-does-real-user-monitoring-work it also shows you how to disable it.
If you didn't enable RUM you probably should contact New Relic.
I'm not sure if it is enabled by default at the moment, I think yes.
