Full power of pathoc

After reading http://blog.portswigger.net/2017/07/cracking-lens-targeting-https-hidden.html.
I wanted to do
$ pathoc google.com get:@tester.com

But I get an error as below. It seems we cannot start a path with ‘@’ symbol. Or Am I doing something wrong. Pathoc seems really powerful feature to test HTTP protocol/servers but this seems to not work.

I realized it is due to ‘@100’ type of feature. Maybe we should add a flag to disable the interpretation of ‘@’ or such symbols. While at it, we can perhaps support any text in place of GET method.
