My next website is going to have the path portion of the URL be a base64 encoded ASN.1 blob.

So long as it starts with a slash, go ahead! See how long it takes for someone to figure it out.

It’s your website. Have fun with it! Do dumb things! :-)

Make sure you use URL-safe base64 or the portions that looks like a path can get mangled

MII//epi

Is converted to MII/epi

That would be broken software.
