Issue loading flv files from absolute URLS

A customer installed both this module and flashnode module to post some video testimonials on their site. The FLV file was not loading however. After going through the configuration for both modules I found this code in swftools.module:

unction _swftools_get_flashvars_string(&$flashvars) {



  foreach ($flashvars AS $var => $value) {

    $flashvars[$var] = str_replace(array('&', '=', '?'), array('%26', '%3D', '%3
F'), $value);

  }

  $encoded = drupal_query_string_encode($flashvars);



  // '#' seems to encode as %2523, reverse this, using a more robust hex prefix.
.

  $encoded = str_replace('%2523', '0x', $encoded);
  
  return $encoded;

The call to drupal_query_string_encode() is munging the :// in an absolute URL.

To correct this, I added the following prior to the return:

$encoded = str_replace('%3A/%252F', '://', $encoded);

If you need me to roll a patch, let me know.

Thanks!
