My app generates CSV files from WORepetitions which open well via Excel on the Mac but in Windows Excel it shows the source instead of opening properly.

On each string I set the escape HTML to NO and used the following code:

public void appendToResponse (WOResponse aResponse, WOContext aContext)
{
super.appendToResponse(aResponse, aContext);

aResponse.setHeader ("application/csv", "content-type");
aResponse.setHeader ("filename=excel_file.csv", "content- disposition");
}

Has anyone had this problem and or does anyone have a suggested solution?


All Windows machines, or the one you are testing on? What happens if you save the .csv file to disk on Windows and double click on it? Does it get recognized as an Excel file? You might also try some MIME alternatives for CSV from here http://filext.com/detaillist.php? extdetail=CSV
