Hi all, I have some base64 encoded data in my own buffer (a character array). I want to decode this.
>From the man pages it appeared to me that I should 1) create a memory bio, 2) populate it with my base64 encoded data. 3) Create a base64 filter bio 4) Create a chain like this: [base64_bio]-----[mem_bio] 5) Read from the chain Sadly this does not work. Read always signals EOF/EOD. Read always returns -1. BIO_should_retry() or BIO_should_read() is true after every subsequent attempt to read from the chain. If I replace the [mem_bio] with a [fp_bio], it works fine, i.e if I place the base64 encoded data in a file and create a chain like this: [base64_bio]-----[fp_bio] and then read from the chain, the data is properly decoded, all in one go. I read this posting : http://marc.info/?l=openssl-users&m=123171064303018&w=2 and this : http://markmail.org/message/cdndl7pofs7maixq#query:+page:1+mid:hts7ql...<http://markmail.org/message/cdndl7pofs7maixq#query:+page:1+mid:hts7qlqkz3yzsmz2+state:results> but they did not solve my problem. The first posting is large and elaborate and I did understand parts of it. Probably its the parts that I did not understand that are needed here. Either ways, any help is really appreciated. I previously posted this questions via Google groups and it is here : http://groups.google.com/group/mailing.openssl.users/browse_thread/thread/d7686d4f46f1b332?pli=1 My code is also put up in that Google groups post. Yesterday when i did not see my message archived at marc.info I sent an email to opessl-us...@openssl.org , but again today I do not see my email in the marc.info archives or listed on the google groups. So I now subscribed to the list and am sending it again. So I hope I get it right this time. -- Regards, Brahmana. The LIGHT shows the way. The WISE see it. The BRAVE walk it. The PERSISTENT endure and complete it. I want to do it all ALONE.
