I believe in miracles. I have searched Microsoft and the first link was
actually related to my problem...
Okay, I found an IE issue where downloads over SSL will choke when you send
a no-cache header. It says to use a no-store cache-control header, instead.
I tried this:
header("cache-control: no-store");
header("content-type: application/vnd.ms-excel; name='excel'");
header("content-disposition: attachment; filename=" . $filename .
".xls");
and I'm still getting the same thing. Is the no-cache cache-control header
sent automatically by PHP at all? I don't have one set explicitly in my
code.
Any help is appreciated.

The dialog to save/open the file pops up, but when you try to open/save the
file, IE says it cannot be found. If I put in a echo before these two
headers (or comment them out), the page is shown correctly as HTML, so the
code is correct.
