Download Worklog option does not open Excel in IE or Edge

[John Fisher]

Export works in Chrome but Edge opens a blank URL/Tab and IE opens a blank tab with URL as follows:

We are running Windows 10 and Office 2016.

It looks like some browsers are not able to recognise it as downloadable for some reason. Though according to wikipedia all browsers should support it.

[Andriy Zhdanov]

It does not look possible to fix at the moment.

Hi John,

I've just added possibly fix for IE, could you please try if it works?

Say thanks in issue#754 if so.

Thank you.
