Access denied when trying to download RDP file for Azure VM using Connect button

Click the Connect button to download the RDP file for a VM in Azure Portal results in...

Server Error in '/' Application.

Access is denied.

Description: An error occurred while accessing the resources required to serve this request. This may have been caused by an incorrect user name and/or password.

Error message 401.1: Logon credentials were not recognized. Make sure you are providing the correct user name and password. Otherwise, contact the Web server's administrator for help.

Tracing this I think I understand why as I see no creds are passed in any header.

The Request is a POST to

https://portal.azure.com/api/FileDownload?filename=<myVMfilename>.rdp&mimeType=application%2Frdp&dataType=text

This is on a Mac using Safari.

It seems Safari can't download Azure VM RDP file, please try to use other browser to download the RDP file, ex. Chrome.
