This issue is not resolved yet. The extension of file is clearly .xls but I see content-type in response header is set to text/html.
Please note that the request initially hits apache2.4 server which is redirected to tomcat9 server after successful authentication at siteminder. The connection is configured via ajp connector. Is there a possibility that the apache server is overwriting the content-type header in response ? Please advise.

Thank you for the email We could see that when we try to open the xls file separately the browser shows dialogue box to save it so it is nothing to do with browser settings Could you please advise if I am missing out any setting here.

Pls check http response headers for the request to confirm if it's returning proper headers. Once they are in place then it may be to do with browser settings not processing headers.
