"Our download redirection can handle downloads via scripts, this is
done via 302 redirects, please ensure that the download system you are
using can follow those redirects, and also make sure that it is not
sending a User Agent designed to look like a browser's User Agent (if
the User Agent makes the download appear to come from a browser, we
will send the "Your download will begin..." page instead of just
serving the file)."

Now, it seems URLLoader sends a request with the User Agent
"Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X; en) AppleWebKit/533.19.4
(KHTML, like Gecko) AdobeAIR/3.8", which I gather is being interpreted
as being from a browser... Any way to change the User Agent on
URLLoader or do we have a different method to download files with AIR
that doesn't have this behaviour?
