Opening file content resource (Excel) of JasperReports Server / Tomcat with Internet Explorer displays binary data inline

Posted on May 21, 2014 at 2:00am
  • Content-Type / Accept / MIME HTTP headers issue?
  • JasperReports Server (5.2.0)
  • running on Tomcat 7
  • clients tried
    • Internet Explorer (9.0.8112.16421 64bit (default below) and 11.0.9600.17105 64bit)
    • Firefox 28.0
    • Chrome (34.0.1847.131 m)

If I navigate in the JasperReports Server Web GUI to my previously uploaded Inhaltsresource (content resource), a *.xlsx Excel document, it works well in Firefox and Chrome, by offering to save or open the file, but it fails in Internet Explorer, by displaying the files binary content in the tab :-(

I did quite some research, but could not find a definitive cause, although some points may point at the cause:

see comment under question above ... this answer should just trigger possible subscribers if the comment above does not and sadly I can't retag it to v5.5.0
