Hi Mark,
There was a recent, i.e. within the last three weeks or so, discussion on the
bacula-devel list, about the 'standards' compliance of the base-64 encoding
in the Bacula source tree.
Kern Sibbald agreed that there was a bug in the implementation in the Bacula
source, which made it partially incompatible with standards conforming
decoding tools. There is (allegedly!) a missing bit-mask operation which
results in extra bits being included in the encoding process, or something
along those lines!
As is common: consult the source!
(specifically: $BACULA_DIR/src/lib/base64.[ch])
Thanks, I'll have a look. Was it decided to leave the encoding the way
it is for backward compatibility or will it eventually be done in the
standard way?
