IE8 doesn't work since karma 0.13.0

[dchambers]

IE8 stopped working since karma started using the dom-serialize library in karma 0.13.0. This is because Object.reduce is used on this line of code, but no shim has been provided for IE8.

Thanks for the report.

Actually, karma 0.12.37 doesn't seem to work either because there is a file with a URL like http://localhost:9876/absolute/tmp/4a09ba9cdb71424e0ecb978e4c0a49ce.browserify that is served with the content type text/plain, which IE8 then refuses to load.

Is there an older version of karma that you would recommend for people still needing to test against IE8?

[dignifiedquire]

The official policy is that all versions of Karma should support IE8, so I'm not sure at which point we broke this contract. If you are up to it, I would be happy to accept a PR fixing it, as I can only test against IE11 with simulated IE8 behaviour at the moment.
