<question>
I'm trying to stream an XLS file from a servlet and I'm having some trouble. What's the problem?
</question>
<answer>
<p>
Dont depend on IE to show you an attachment properly if you stream it via a
servlet. Every minor version of IE has different bugs.
</p>
<p>
To guarantee it to work, instead of doing a server-side redirect
(requestdispather), try doing a client side redirect to your xls file. Thats
guaranteed to work ... (also keep in mind that *sometimes* IE makes TWO
requests for a document that is opened by an external handler .. so if your xls
production is heavy, you might have a problem.)
