"Accept" is not listed in the forbidden headers in the documentation here:
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/ActionScriptLangRefV3/flash/net/URLRequestHeader.html
but cant seem to set it in a GET request. Help!

A:
You are allowed to specify the "accept" header, but only on a POST request with one or more variables.
The documentation comments mention this:
For browser-based Flash/AS3 applications, the only way to successfully set or modify request headers on a URLRequest object is to set its method to POST as well as send at least one variable of data along with the request (i.e. with URLVariables). Otherwise the headers will silently remain unchanged.

ugh...well that explains the other bizzareness, but unfortunately I need to set the Accept Header on a GET request (just updated the question to add that)

Then, unfortunately, the answer is "no." Flash is the only platform specifically designed to infuriate, unfortunately.
