- sp332 15y agoThis lets you use the data as a piece of a URL, so you can pass it as a CGI query string to another web page.
- aurelianito 15y agoI still don't get it. Passing data as pieces of URLs is what normal parameters are for and data URLs are for generating a "virtual file", id est a link that contains all the information of the file linked. With those 2 things, everything should be covered.
- nerfhammer 15y agoSome limitations. You can't redirect to a data:// url, e.g. <img src=http://tinyurl.com/44c8ctt http://tinyurl.com/44c8ctt > or <a href=http://tinyurl.com/44c8ctt http://tinyurl.com/44c8ctt >link</a> gets stopped by Chrome as an injection attack. So you can't use data:// to (ab)use a link shortener as a CDN.
