[users@httpd] Certain File Types Not Found

Hi,

Hi, we just migrated our website to a different server. Since then, none of
the MS Office file types (specifically .xls and .xlsx) hosted on the
website are downloadable - they all give a 400 Bad Request error. However,
if we just rename any of these files to have extensions .zip or
.tar.gzthey download without a problem! Any idea where the problem
could be? We
are looking at handlers and filters, but are on shared hosting and do not
have access to such settings.

Hosting details:
Operating System: CentOS release 5.5 (Final)
Apache HTTP Server Version: 1.3.33

Thank you.
