It sounds to me like your web server is not assigning the correct
Content-Type header for .xls files.  (This can be confirmed by running
htdig with -vvv.)  By default, a lot of web servers return a Content-Type
of text/plain for unknown file types.  The internal parsers of htdig
would not be attempting to parse .xls files if they were properly tagged
as application/vnd.ms-excel or application/msexcel.
