Sorry, was away for sometime.
I ran it through network monitor in FB.

Looks like header is not passed at all.
Code:
var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest(pathRemote);
req.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
req.data = new URLVariables("name=John+Doe");
var encoder:Base64Encoder = new Base64Encoder();
encoder.insertNewLines = true;
encoder.encode("myusername:mypassword");
var credsHeader:URLRequestHeader = new
URLRequestHeader("Authorization", "Basic " + encoder.toString());
req.requestHeaders.push(credsHeader);
remoteURLStreamer.load(req);
I looked at the doc:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/net/URLRequestHeader.html
It says:
"In Flash Player and in Adobe AIR content outside of the application
security sandbox, the following request headers cannot be used
Accept-Charset, Accept-Encoding, Accept-Ranges, Age, Allow, Allowed,
Authorization, Charge-To, Connect, Connection, Content-Length,
Content-Location, Content-Range, Cookie, Date, Delete, ETag, Expect, Get,
Head, Host, If-Modified-Since, Keep-Alive, Last-Modified, Location,
Max-Forwards, Options, Origin, Post, Proxy-Authenticate, Proxy-Authorization,
Proxy-Connection, Public, Put, Range, Referer, Request-Range, Retry-After,
Server, TE, Trace, Trailer, Transfer-Encoding, Upgrade, URI, User-Agent,
Vary, Via, Warning, WWW-Authenticate, x-flash-version."
Why does header request cannot have 'Authorization' object? So how else can
we pass the header request?
