[Bug 1443397] [NEW] Cookie/Session-protected downloads fail

 

Public bug reported:

I don't have an obvious example, but whenever a download requires
authentication, the download via u-d-m fails, likely because only the
URL is handed over from the browser to the manager.

We'd probably need API to also pass cookies over.
