Bug ID: 88701
Summary: FILEOPEN: Problem with import of HTML files with
extension XLS on Windows
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 4.4.0.1 rc
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
OS: Windows (All)
Status: NEW
Severity: normal

HTML file with MIME header with XLS extension
A particular brand of ERP software is being used for generating reports in our
organizations. It has an Export of Excel button. On the web based interface of
the ERP the report can be downloaded as an XLS spreadsheet.
The XLS file is actually an HTML file with an XLS extension.
File contains a MIME header and then HTML tags for tables etc. Example file is
attached.
This file if opened on Ubuntu GNU/ Linux with LibreOffice 4.2.7.2 ; can be
imported as calc table. A little annoyance is the mime header at the top of
file.
On Windows versions (64bit Windows 7) (I have tried 4.3 and 4.4 RC1 both) the
import dialog displays the file contents as HTML text and prompts to import it
as TAB, SPACE delimited text file. Rendering the file imported data unusable.
On renaming the file as .html the same can be imported as calc table with the
little annoyance of mime header on top.
There were other bug reports with broken HTML as XLS, this one has MIME headers
before start of HTML
