It's a bit annoying that the Base64 is not URL-friendly in that it uses / and =, and also a bit annoying that they chose % as a message prefix (which unconditionally needs to be urlencoded), and finally it's a bit annoying that the viewer insists on having all non-alphanums in the identifier urlencoded, but that's where we are now. :-)
@clacke nevermind figured it out. my 'url encoder' was bad heh
