The author glosses over the fact that encoding of special characters in the hash is broken in firefox. As an application there's no way to know if you're getting the data you want or url encoded data. Base64 encoding (with replacing chars like $ which most im and email clients fail to autodetect as being part of the url) seems to be the only bet at the moment. Putting the data in the get request and ignoring it on the server also seems to work well.
