Weren't you planning on using the download manager? If so
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~phablet-team/ubuntu-download-manager/trunk/view/head:/src/downloads/client/ubuntu/download_manager/download.h#L120

I'm not sure what the expected behavior is if it is not allowed though
(stall or return with error), but this API is most likely the thing used
to update the image when told to only download over wifi.
