Bass Tech have a custom tag that outputs a query as excel.
(http://www.basstechs.com/btcontrols.cfm)

BTExcel is a custom control that creates and Excel Spreadsheet based on
a Cold Fusion query (CFQUERY). This highly-functional utility only
requires that you pass a previously defined CF query on the calling
page. You have the option of displaying or hiding the column headers and
even specifying Column headers as well.

I�ve been using it successfully for a while now under CF5 in a shared
environment with several disabled tags.

Subject: [cfaussie] CFCONTENT Tag Disabled by ISP

Hi All,
�
I have app that is supposed to return a spreadsheet back to the browser.
Works beautifully on dev PC, with code being
�
<CFHEADER NAME="Content-Disposition" VALUE="inline;
filename=#myfilename#">
<CFCONTENT TYPE="application/vnd.ms-excel">...
I loaded it up to a large, central ISP, and then found that the
CFCONTENT tag was disabled.
I contacted the ISP, who responded with
�
"Unfortunately the CFCONTENT tag has been disabled on our shared hosting
platform by our Senior Technicians, due to security reasons.
Unfortunately it cannot be enabled."
�
I need to know
�
a) Are they being reasonable, or paranoid?
b) Can anyone provide reasons as to why is does / does not need to be
disabled?
c) Assuming I have no joy in getting the tag enabled, does anyone have a
good workaround for creating and returning info suitable for loading
into a spreadsheet?
�
Thanks,
Phil.
