Description The downloads_http_cycle fails under a specific case.

If I run the test on a local machine, it passes.
If I run it on a remote server, it fails (unauthorized URL).

At first, I thought it was because of Cloudflare disrupting IP secure sessions. I disabled Cloudflare, but the test still failed.

So I thought it might have to do with the fact the server is probing the URL instead of me, so the IP address for session checking is of the server and not of myself. However, if that was the case, then I would have been able to call the URL directly successfully (or at least with keep_session). But calling it directly also yielded "Guest" does not have access to the cms zone, even if I use keep_session. So something is wrong, and I don't know what.
