 In-browser Adobe Flash that must connect to HTTP URLs as part of its
 programming will fail with HTTPS Everywhere if there is an HTTPS
 alternative to the URL, because it will attempt to use the secure URL
 instead. And I presume that in-browser Flash does not have permission to
 make HTTPS requests unless specifically granted somehow.
