Basic authentication with flash

This is unbelievable! Flash programmers are familiar with the example:

var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://yoursite.com/yourservice.ext");
req.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
req.data = new URLVariables("name=John+Doe");

var encoder:Base64Encoder = new Base64Encoder();        
encoder.encode("yourusername:yourpassword");

var credsHeader:URLRequestHeader = new URLRequestHeader("Authorization", "Basic " + encoder.toString());
req.requestHeaders.push(credsHeader);

var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
loader.load(req);

OK ... excellent ... it really works. As you can see, I manually add the authorization header for basic HTTP authentication. BUT ... if I change the request method from POST to GET, the header will not be generated.

Is there anyone who knows the solution? 1000x thanks!

You can also send headers using GET methods, unless you test it on the standalone Flash Player debugger (do not test on the simple one) v.11.4.402.265 . If you open your local swf in a browser, it works fine.
