There may be another issue, too, although I am curious about what happens
when using "Content-Disposition" in correct capitalization.
IE uses different information sources to determine whats coming over the
net, as I said before. I forgot to mention the "extension of the URL". Its a
bit funny, but it _may_ help to append ".xls" to the request which finally
gets the data.
For example: We have a JSP displaying a link to a struts action which does
some preprocessing and forwards "externally" ("redirect='true'" in
struts-config.xml) to a servlet effectively producing the result. The link
on the page is something like
preparexls.do
which calls something like PrepareXlsAction. This one sends back a
'redirect' to the browser, telling it to fetch
outputxls.xls
or even
outputxls.xls?filename=myworksheet&extension=.xls
as the final result.
If everything else fails, you may check that out additionally.
Regards,
Christian
