It looks like Mythweb is using JQuery and prototype.js loaded from a
'(hopefully) known-good' copy at Google.

mike at bifrost ~/mythweb $ grep -r googleapis *
modules/_shared/tmpl/default/header.php:        <script src="
https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/prototype/1.7.3.0/prototype.js
"></script>
modules/_shared/tmpl/default/header.php:        <script src="
https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.2.1/jquery.min.js"></script>

I'm reluctant to believe that any of the purported benefits of doing so
even apply to Mythweb (local) usage.

I personally believe it would be worth to putting in a bug report to
instead move jquery and prototype.js code to a directory locally in the
MythWeb files. IMHO this would be the more sane option for a local (vs
globally accessible) webapp; why rely on anything remote if its meant to be
used only on a LAN?
