Why I'm getting 403 with rtmpdump, but it still works well within browser? How can I deal with it?

Error 403 means "Access Forbidden". probably they are checking user-agent in request header and denying access to rtmpdump. however you can bypass it by manually fetching the player.swf and hashing it or just put the following in your .swfinfo file.
Code:
url: http://www.livestation.com/flash/player/5.4/player.swf

Yes, that's OK for Windows machines. And StreamTransport works too.
But what is the solution for Linux?

My above post was answer to that specific question though you can download the stream even if rtmpdump shows the error because this site doesn't use swf verification.

RTMPexplorer just redirects the rtmp traffic to rtmpsrv which is otherwise a tedious process in windows. Linux can redirect the traffic easily. you can use rtmpdump in linux to download this stream.
Code:
http://www.livestation.com/products/68?quality=93
Code:
rtmpdump -r "rtmp://livestfslivefs.fplive.net/livestfslive-live/" -a "livestfslive-live/" -f "WIN 10,2,159,1" -W "http://www.livestation.com/flash/player/5.4/player.swf" -p "http://www.livestation.com/products/68?quality=93" -y "livestfslive_alarabiy_ar_high?start_time=20110508112837&end_time=20110508113337&token=0efb796c7220d645ce3d8" --live -o livestfslive_alarabiy_ar_high.flv

The command doesn't work for me with RTMPDump in Linux or Windows.
Result is:-
ERROR: RTMP_HashSWF: couldn't contact swfurl http://www.livestation.com/flash/player/5.4/player.swf (HTTP error 403)

Verbose output is here:- __http://pastebin.com/ivwm0xkQ

When I use rtmpexplorer in Windows.

This page downloads OK:-
Code:

And this page won't download:-
