Hi Vadivel,
You can try the following :
1. Set the header "Content-Disposition" to have the type "attachment"
2. If your header "Content-Type" with value of "application/vnd-excel"
doesn't work, you can try setting "Content-Type" header to have
"application/as-you-wish" (just to cheat the browser about Excel type)
