note 60348 rejected from function.session-start by nlopess

Note Submitter: damir at ataco dot si ---- I am having strange problems with session_start in IE. I am creating word (*.doc) documents on the fly. This documents should be accessible only to authenticated users. If I click on document generation a standard download/open dialog box appears. When trying to directly open this word document I am getting an error from MS word, that the file cannot be found. This happens only if I am using session_start. and with session_start only works if Winword is already opened. I know this must be an IE or Winword bug, but is there any workarround? The problem is I need to authenticate each time I serve a document.
