IE seems to require that file.xls be "file.xls" Or it will puke saying it can't save the file if your url ends in a slash.

The following is also missing:

from django.http import HttpResponse

Finally, the MIME type is wrong, it should be like this:

response = HttpResponse(mimetype="application/vnd.ms-excel")
