Which browsers have you experienced this on? ============================================ All

Which operating systems have you experienced this on? ===================================================== All

Please provide any additional information below.

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

From api.kurrik%google.com@gtempaccount.com on June 18, 2008 20:46:33 We informed the app developer community and instructed them on how to disable this feature in this blogpost: http://orkutdeveloper.blogspot.com/2008/05/new-feature-disable-automatic-url.html

We've since updated how to turn off rewriting for certain types of files. Please check http://orkutdeveloper.blogspot.com/2008/06/rewriting-returns-to-sandbox.html for more information.
