</div>I don't think that passing session id as a path segment parameter<br>
is wrong per se. One can think of it as ""api" path segment,<br>
version for a session specified", and it should work as long as<br>
it's properly handled by the server which implements the API. But<br>
it may be non-trivial to work with such URIs in various software,<br>
including nginx, as path segment parameters support is usually<br>
quite limited.<br>
