I set the T= flag. In the rewrite log I see the flag doing it's thing:
...rewrite index.php -> /sesp/static/cache/sesp-apprv.csv
...remember /sesp/static/cache/sesp-apprv.csv to have MIME-type
'application/ms-excel'
but Content-Type comes back as text/plain instead of application/ms-excel. I'm
wondering if the
PT flag is causing other modules to override the T= flag. What do you think?
PT might be the culprit. You can perhaps avoid PT by rewriting to a
complete unix path. But the problem might also be that T= doesn't work
in .htaccess files. I haven't tried it myself, so I couldn't say.
RewriteRule (index.php|^)$ %{ENV:SESP_LOC}/static/cache/sesp-apprv.csv
[T=application/ms-excel,PT,L]
At this point, I'm thinking, leave the content type as the default text/plain.
Let the browsers
handle content-disposition "attachment; filename=sesp-apprv.csv" as they see
fit ;-)
Why don't you just unconditionally set .csv to the right content-type:
AddType application/ms-excel .csv
