If people play nice then no, but my worry is single access downloads where a
HEAD request may be special cased to not trigger the download lock,
but a GET request may alter the cookie such that a subsequent GET to the same
URL actually requires re-running all the fancy js-based auth in front of the 
download.
It's probably unlikely but I can certainly imagine implementing such a system
in certain circumstances and think it's worth handling if we can.

Cheers,
Adam.
