Hello, all.

I am having trouble serving excel files with Tomcat 5.5.9. This site uses SSL with form-based authentication through a JDBC user database, I have added the following to the application's WEB-INF/web.xml file:

 <mime-mapping>
   <extension>xls</extension>
   <mime-type>application/vnd.ms-excel</mime-type>
 </mime-mapping>

and the following to the META-INF/context.xml file:

<Valve className="org.apache.catalina.authenticator.FormAuthenticator"
           disableProxyCaching="false" />

to deal with the IE SSL bug.

When trying to link to excel files, however, it appears IE is interpreting as text as all I get is a page of nonsense characters. This does not happen in Firefox (of course).

Am I missing something here?
