Should I feel dumb about not quite understanding why this url works?
- goodside 7y agoNot at all. It’s called a data URI, and most people will never have any reason to think about them. They’re mostly useful for inlining very small icons in CSS files as hexdumps. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_URI_scheme https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_URI_scheme
- nkrisc 7y agoYou often see these data URLs used with a different content type and more usually a base64 encoded blob, often an image.
