I recently launched www.64.surf that uses the URL to send files, obviously a much smaller file size, but was fun to build regardless.

Basically, base64 encode the file, inject it in the URL and then allows you to share it with other people.

Cloudflare issue when loading the URL

Then you send the file as base64 prefixed with your URL?

Where is the use, except that's cool to build?

If the URL contains the file, what is the difference between sending the URL and the actual file contents in practice?
