Office 2007 cfheader cfcontent Word docx problem

[pixiesfb]

When we updated to Office 2007, we also needed to update cfheader and cfcontent tags to accommodate .docx and other 'x' extensions for our dynamically created documents.

Example:
<cfheader name="Content-Disposition" value="attachment:filename=myfile">
<cfcontent type="application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document">

This does open the document. However, when a user tries to save it, it defaults to .html extension instead of .docx. Any ideas?

Previously, tags looked like this:
<cfheader name="Content-Disposition" value="attachment:filename=myfile.doc">
<cfcontent type="application/vnd.msword">

Not sure if it is a typo, but it looks like you are missing the file extension .docx . Also, the value separator is a semi-colon, rather than a colon. ie

<cfheader name="Content-Disposition" value="attachment; filename=myfile.docx"> OR
<cfheader name="Content-Disposition" value="attachment; filename=""myfile.docx""">

No extension needed in <cfheader name="Content-Disposition" value="attachment:filename=myfile">.

Why do you say that? I have never read that extension is optional.

For .doc, yes. For .docx, no. Try both of these yourself and you will see that Word will not open the file if you put a .docx on the end of myfile in the second set of cfheader/cfcontent.

<cfheader name="Content-Disposition" value="attachment:filename=myfile.doc">
<cfcontent type="application/vnd.msword">

<cfheader name="Content-Disposition" value="attachment:filename=myfile">
<cfcontent type="application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document">

No, it opens fine with a real docx file (with the ":" corrected to ";").

Are your downloads true MS Word documents, or psuedo-MS Word documents ie html?
