What character set is used for the "key" field in the submit form? The big question is "is it safe to pass the key as a GET parameter in a URL (i.e. is it guaranteed to have no & or ? characters)?"

The big answer is yes. The precise answer is:

my @Key_chars = ('A'..'Z', 'a'..'z', '0'..'9', '.', '^', '/', '!', '*');
