web interface for getting rsID in dbSNP of some coordinate?

When I want to look up an rsID of a genomic coordinate I look in a dbSNP vcf. This is fast, when I have a terminal available and can remember the path to the dbSNP vcf. But does a web interface exist for doing the same task?

dbsnp rsid
Surprisingly doesn't allow you to search by position.

UCSC genome browser with dbSNP version of interest selected among Variation tracks?

Using dbsnp:

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/snp/?term=%28%287[Chromosome]%29+AND+57120540%3A57120545[Base+Position]%29+AND+%22homo+sapiens%22[Organism]

Using ucsc das:

$ curl "http://genome.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/das/hg38/features?segment=chr7:57120540,57120543&type=snp142"
