Problem Description:
Not sure when this happened, but it was working in CF11 before updates, at least up until 11,0,03,292480
Steps to Reproduce:
<cfset local.fileName = "roster-upload.xls" />
<cfset local.s = spreadsheetNew( "Member Import" ) />
<cfset spreadsheetAddRow( local.s, "Email,FirstName,LastName" ) />
<cfheader name="Content-Disposition" value="attachment; filename=#local.fileName#"/>
<cfcontent type="application/vnd.msexcel;" variable="#spreadSheetReadBinary( local.s )#" />
This also occurs if you write the spreadsheet to the file system and then download it with <cfcontent ... file="#myfilepath#">. When I did that, I was able to open the spreadsheet locally on the server to see that the spreadsheet was formed properly.
It also occurs if you change the content-disposition to inline rather than attachment. It also happened when I set charset=utf-8, or to iso-8859-1, or as above left it unspecified.
Actual Result:
ÐÏx11;ࡱá is the printable part of what is downloaded.
Note that on our unpatched server this is also the first eight bytes of data, it's just not truncated.
Expected Result:
A spreadsheet with Email, FirstName, and LastName in bold on the top row.
Any Workarounds:
None found so far.
