I made nice servlet (Struts action actually) that downloads xls (or
opens - depends what the users chooses).
headers:
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment;
filename=report.xls");
response.setContentType("application/vnd.
I tried both - with sending cache (pragma + cache control) and w/o it. No
effect :)
My current owkward idea is that perhaps the xls content is somewhat wrong...

Another thing to check is what cache control headers you (or Struts) are
sending, if any. Some versions of IE incorrectly delete the downloaded
file before trying to open it in an external application if told not to
cache it. The only work around I'm aware of is to not send cache control
header
I tested it on 4 different PCees with XP :-)
The problem might be that all those pcees have company-wide win-xp
distribution.
I implemented simple workaround but I don't like it: I removed 'attachment;'
from content-disposition and now IE opens the excel in web browser window
rather than in Excel
I use a ContentType of "application/excel" and it seems to work OK. You
might try that in your environment.

I agree, it sounds like a configuration issue on your PC. Have you
tried it on a different PC? Possibly one not set up by the same
Corporate IT department?
