Middleware for fixing Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, Powerpoint) hyperlinks to views requiring authentication

Hyperlinks to views requiring authentication in Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, Powerpoint) can fail based on how Office handles rendering. This middleware sends a refresh return to the client, which will allow the page to be opened as normal, instead of the "Unable to open ... Cannot download the information you requested." This is a port from the ruby middleware project [fix microsoft links](https://github.com/spilliton/fix_microsoft_links). To enable, add to your [middleware stack](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/http/middleware/) in the django project settings.

Create OpenOffice documents

This view will enable you to generate OpenOffice documents from templates written in OpenOffice 2.x Just make sure that there is no OO tag in between your code (no change in formatting etc.). content.xml is a valid XML file, so you can do some preprocessing using xml.dom.minidom. I would also recommend caching (just save the zip file without content.xml and content.xml on its own).
