This breaks the communication between the flash object and the server.
Obviously it can be fixed but its ridiculous on Orkuts behalf to introduce
such a feature without informing/consulting the app developers. We are
struggling to get our app to work and losing lots of users in the process.
Thank you

We informed the app developer community and instructed them on how to disable this
feature in this blogpost:

We've since updated how to turn off rewriting for certain types of files. Please
