Re: HSSF Failure in IE

I had the same problem and solved it by looking at the headers of a working application (phpMyAdmin has excel export). Using the following headers works for me: //control cache, these make the difference response.setHeader("Cache-Control", "must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0"); response

Re: HSSF Failure in IE

To close this issue (note that the basic problem was resolved: see my response of 12/17): I changed my code to: "Content-Disposition" and it had no effect. Gecko's header still showed all lower case, and IE's header still showed cap C and lower D. Thanks all, again, for the help! Dick

ccording to some MS Knowledge Base article I can't remember, even a URL like this will trick IE into treating it as a XLS. Iain -Original Message- From: Christian Gosch [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 15 December 2005 08:35 To: POI Users List Subject: Re: HSSF Failure in IE There m

Re: HSSF Failure in IE

There may be another issue, too, although I am curious about what happens when using "Content-Disposition" in correct capitalization. IE uses different information sources to determine whats coming over the net, as I said before. I forgot to mention the "extension of the URL". Its a bit funny, but

Re: HSSF Failure in IE

(1) Use a byte[] for intermediate buffering, that should tell the truth. If things get too big, you may underly a temp file. (2) There are RFCs about how to set up the HTTP response header according to HTTP 1.0 or 1.1 (therefore you should know what your HTTP server component talks to its clients),
