Apache http Method executes excel link

[BobParson]

Hi,

I am using Apache HtTp method to execute a url which genrates a excel file on external web server. Is there a way I can store this output on my local M/c?. How do i parse this kind of output? As it is not a HTMl output.

Thanks

always nice to welcome a long time lurker to WebmasterWorld, bobp!

not sure if i entirely understand your question, but if you are clicking on that link on a web page, depending on which browser and which button, you should be able to access options to save the file on your hard drive or launch an external application (probably ms excel) to view the document.
i'm not aware of any web browser or plugin that will display an embedded excel document.

Hi,

I found the solution we need to use HSSF worksheet . So that Apache HTTp method can handle the Excel output..

Thanks a lot for helping..
