See, for example: http://www.davros.org/temp/transfer:sha1=2309r+4erqcqc=xx.gif (ignore the content; it's just an image someone sent me). The "meta" approach has the advantage of being syntactically unambiguous, but only if you leave the metadata at the start or provide a better way of ending the URI section (for example, requiring colons to be escaped). -- Clive D.W.
