Tomcat is serving the static resource using its default servlet? If so, try adding the mime type to the conf/web.xml file:
<mime-mapping> <extension>xls</extension> <mime-type>application/vnd.ms-excel</mime-type> </mime-mapping>

I'm using Tomcat 4.06 standalone and cannot find how to configure the server to properly identify downloaded files as Excel spreadsheets. I'm using links which look like:
<a href="https://webserver.com\Info\Docs\4211/SomeSpreadsheet.xls";> <b>SomeSpreadsheet.xls</b><br> </a>
When the user clicks on the link the file is being displayed in the user's browser as garbage rather than having the browser display it via Excel.
I cannot find how to configure the server to properly identify these files as Excel spreadsheets.
