Base64 is a basic encoding mechanism (it is **not** encryption) used by HTTP
clients for encoding username and password, for urls that requires user
authentication. It is quite simple and there are a lot of implementations
freely available (C/Perl/Java). Just do a search on www.google.com to sample
a few.
