Platform: Django 0.95, Win XP & 2003, Apache 2.2/mod_python 3.2.10 I'm running into an issue when returning data to Internet Explorer that has a content type other than text/html. More specifically, I'm returning data in an html table format recognized by excel (content- type: application/vnd.ms-excel), and IE chokes when the data is being returned by Apache/mod_python (Firefox is ok). Here's what happens when the problem occurs:
1. I submit the request and IE opens a "Do you want to open or save this file?" dialog. This dialog indicates that it recognizes that an excel file is being received, but it ignores the filename used in the content-disposition field. 2. If I choose Open or Save, I get an error stating that it could not dowload the file from its location. When I make the same request from IE to the built-in WSGI server, it works fine (the correct file name is chosen, and the file downloads or opens correctly). I've tested it on multiple Apache/mod_python instances on win xp and win 2003, and IE6/IE7 on multiple computers, all with the same result. Though I don't think it's a code issue, here's what I use to return the response: response = HttpResponse(response_data, mimetype="application/vnd.ms- excel") response['Content-Disposition'] = 'attachment; filename="SearchResults.xls"' response['Content-Length'] = str(len(response_data)) response['Expires'] = "Mon, 26 Jul 1997 05:00:00 GMT" return response Any ideas? I'm completely stuck. The only thing I've noticed is that the headers arrive in a different order when served under WSGI vs. Apache/mod_python. In the WSGI scenario, the content-type header comes before content-disposition, and in Apache/mod_python it is the other way around. I forced the headers to be returned in the same order under Apache/mod_python as they are returned by WSGI, but that didn't fix the problem.
