addRequestHeader (XML.addRequestHeader

public addRequestHeader(header:Object, headerValue:String) : Void
Adds or changes HTTP request headers (such as Content-Type or SOAPAction) sent with
POST actions. In the first usage, you pass two strings to the method: header and
headerValue. In the second usage, you pass an array of strings, alternating header names and
header values.
If multiple calls are made to set the same header name, each successive value replaces the value
set in the previous call.
The following request headers cannot be used, and the restricted terms are not case-sensitive
(for example, Get, get, and GET are all not allowed):
Accept-Charset, Accept-Encoding, Accept-Ranges, Age, Allow, Allowed, Connection,
Content-Length, Content-Location, Content-Range, Date, Delete, ETag, Expect, Get,
Host, Keep-Alive, Last-Modified, Location, Max-Forwards, Options, Post, Proxy-
