Created attachment 250454 [details] xls report example file Files produced by birt viewer 3.7.0 and 4.3.2 lack extension UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/40.0.2214.93 Safari/537.36 Example URL: Steps to reproduce the problem: Problem concerns BIRT reports,produced by Birt viewer v 3.7.0 and 4.3.2 that are generated as Excel spreadsheet (but in xml format). 1. Generate report using xls format (e.g. using link like https://xyz/birt/run?__report=test.rptdesign&__format=XLS 2. Browser saves the file, but it has no extension (I attach sample file) Yesterday (26.01.2015) when following these steps the file was being saved with xls extension. It seems that problem concerns also MS Word format of the BIRT report. What is the expected behavior? The file should be saved with xls extension. What went wrong? Downloaded EXcel xml spreadsheet file has no extension. Did this work before? Yes Yesterday and before. Chrome version: 40.0.2214.93 Channel: stable OS Version: 6.1 (Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2) Flash Version: Shockwave Flash 16.0 r0 This works fine in Firefox The google support refused to fix that problem claiming that extension should be provided in file name. See attachment You will find attached example file Below is responce form google support: #6 bentid...@gmail.com I found that including the extension in the file name resolved this issue for me.

If you specify a Content-Disposition header with a filename, you also need to specify the extension. If you leave out the extension, the browser is going to assume that that was intentional. Content-Type derived extensions are only added to a filename under a very restricted set of circumstances.
