Sort of the same problem struck me yesterday, too, but with streams which are perfectly valid containing only base64-chars. // somehow the current implementation of base64 decoding stream is // broken, it sometimes raise StreamReadError instead of decoding // the values correctly (if you feed $000102...7A7B7C into it, // it stops just before decoding $7C, or try feeding a constant // stream of $7D into it, it will stop after the first byte // decoded) Because I need this for XML-RPC server/client stuff, and thus I need the HTTP-capabilities of it anyway, I (temporarily?) switched to Synapse's SynaCode unit. AFAICS it doesn't have any problems with invalid base64 chars, it simply ignores them. Lukas, correct me if I'm wrong. Currently I can't neither file a bug report nor check the current svn if it's fixed already, because I don't have access to any of *.freepascal.org. :-( Someone's blocking me and I haven't figured out why and who yet.
