Re: Webwasher, Excel files, and why I hate my life
To clarify, Apache POI is not the Apache Web server. It comes standard as part of ColdFusion MX. No need to install anything. Just invoke functions that are already there. I don't think you will find this mentioned in the documentation, but there are some nice blogs that tell you exactly what to do. -Mike Chabot On 8/17/07, Wesley Middendorff [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I also have no access to appache, thanks for all your responses no it is just a matter of convincing these corperate types to let go of webwasher for this intranet site on which they control the content anyhow.

Webwasher, Excel files, and why I hate my life
Hello all, I am having a small problem. I am attempting to generate excel files using coldfusion and then force the user to the excel file. The client has webwasher content filtering on their network and I get the following error message from webwasher when attempting to view SOME of excel files: The transferred file http://192.168.4.122/sup_report/exceloutput/OPR_7_2007_0.769483807854.xls; has been blocked by Webwasher. The server returned a file of type application/vnd.ms-excel but the content of this file is of a different type. This is odd to me as the same CF function generates the excel file content. The code is nothing more than a loop over a query that outputs a HTML table and saves the content in a variable and then dumps the variable into a new created file with extension .xls and the files do open in excel no problem. Also, I have written some sample files in XML per MS Tech net articles on how to do so. These files also work in excel, but not through the browser. I am about to pull my hair out on this one as these folks have decided that adding this Intranet site to a list of sites for webwasher to bypass is simply not an option.

Re: Webwasher, Excel files, and why I hate my life
You will avoid that problem if you use Apache POI to generate the Excel file instead of using HTML tables. Apache POI is harder to work with, but ultimately you have more control over the resulting file and the file will be an actual Excel file as opposed to being an HTML document that gets opened by MS Excel. -Mike Chabot On 8/16/07, Wes Middendorff [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello all, I am having a small problem.
