More weird URLS

[Stacy Pober]

Some time back, there was a discussion about how you could convert a 
dotted quad IP  address into a ten digit number.  I recently received the 
following URLS in some spam.  While I understand how the conversion to 
decimal was done with the IP address, what are they doing with those %signs 
numbers with the @ sign preceding the IP address?  They don't seem to 
direct you to the subdirectory,

http://%33%31%32%31%33%39%30%33%31@3637454854/%74/%67%74%77%2E%68%74%6D%6C

Just curious.
