How to read embedded XLS file from URL
Question
I must read an excel file from an URL and get its data. File's name is companies.xls but when I open this file with notepad I have found its like embedded xls into HTML. Microsoft Excel opens this file without any problem and I can save this file with xls extension but I must do it programmatically or I must find any other way to read this file. How can I read this file's data? Since it is not pure xslt Apache poi file system gives below error;
java.io.IOException: Invalid header signature; read 0x6D78206C6D74683C, expected 0xE11AB1A1E011CFD0
Here is my code;
URL companyList= new URL("someURL.xslt");
InputStream inputStream = companyList.openStream();
POIFSFileSystem fs = new POIFSFileSystem(inputStream);
xls file or html;
<head>
<meta http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=Windows-1254">
<meta name=sssId content=Excel.Sheet>
<style type="text/css">
body,table,tr,th,td {font-family:Arial;font-size:11pt;color:#000;}
.th {padding:3em;background:#3366FF;text-align:center;color:#ffffff;}
.td {padding:2em;background:#ffffff;}
</style>

I had the same issue. The fix for this issue is change the charset=Windows-1254 to charset=utf-8 in that xls file.
