standards - @ sign as url parameter separator? -
while browsing new google maps saw using @
sign instead of ?
seperate url-path query parameters, like:
https://www.google.com/maps/@38.1158476,-96.2044115,6z
the coordinates after @
change navigating around map, without browser refresh. bookmarking works fine this.
wikipedia not mention this, rfc3986 shows @
sign possibility username/password authentication.
is standardised feature or proprietary browser functionality? feature safe use, , how use correctly?
@38.1158476,-96.2044115,6z
not query component. it’s still part of path component.
the @
character can used in path, without percent-encoding it.
so uri standard perspective, there nothing special uri. there have been used other (or no) character instead.
i assume google uses @
here because users might read "at", suitable "at <location>".
