Andrew, clear your IE cache and try downloading the file again, or rename
the file and then try downloading it. IE < 9.0 will use the cache control
headers, so the file will be cached if you don't use the attachment
keyword. Look at line ~300 in the globals.py

OK, I added the following MIME type as suggested by Derek
application/vnd.ms-excel.sheet.macroEnabled.12
to gluon.py, which results in the file being opened/saved as xlsm, so it
seems that is the correct one to use (gluon.py did have an entry for xlsm,
but not the right one)
However...the workbo
open gluon/contenttype.py . It's pretty much self-explanatory, but if you
don't know the correct mime-type, its not going to be useful. BTW, if you
find a mime-type that works out, tell us, we'll definitely include that.

Sorry, was that request for me? My developments are all internal, not www
so I've got no link to send...
In terms of getting an immediate/temporary fix, how would I go about adding
that mime/content type to the rocket server my web2py app runs on?

rotfl we miss a contenttype for xslm, but I can't find nowhere what is
supposed to be the correct one. Can you point me to a link to an xslm file
that it's working in IE8 ?

xlsm mime type is:
application/vnd.ms-excel.sheet.macroEnabled.12
from here:

I tried adding "?attachment", and I get a Save As dialog box..trying to
save it as a xlsx file!! I'm just baffled by how something so basic can go
so wrong...
I can download xlsm files fine from other sites, using IE8, so it has to be
something in the Rocket or web2py.
Thanks for your help so
uhm. ok. if you don't know what a content-type is, please don't fiddle with
it.
It may be that ie8 wants to autoopen the file instead of saving it like all
the other browsers. The solution to force a "save as" dialog is quite
simple: just add *?attachment *to the generated URL.

Hi Niphlod,
If I save file as xlsb I get an "invalid request" upon clicking on the
link... Seems the browser is trying to open the files whereas I want it to
download.
As for content-type and modifying default.py/download() function
accordingly - can you provide an example of what alterations I s
content-type if not provided is guessed by gluon/contenttype.py.
for xslx is
'application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet'
If you need a different content-type, alter the default.py/download()
function accordingly

As a workaround, try saving the file as .xlsb and see what happens.
