Fwd: RFR: (JDK-8005406) HTTP server implementation should use Base64 API

[Mark Sheppard]

A review request for JDK-8005406: HTTP server implementation should use Base64 
API

Description:
jdk8 has java.util.Base64 to define a standard API for base64 
encoding/decoding. It would be good to investigate whether this API could be 
used in the com.sun.net.httpserver implementation to replace the existing code 
in BasicAuthentication.

Changes have been made to two files 
sun/net/www/protocol/http/BasicAuthentication.java 
and sun/net/www/protocol/http/NegotiateAuthentication.java to refactor the 
classes to use java.util.Base64 (Base64.Encoder & Base64.Decoder)
rather than sun.misc.BASE64Encoder & sun.misc.BASE64Decoder

Diffs inline

regards
Mark Sheppard.
