Hi All,
I am running Apache with mod_python. A post message to my server
contains an xml of the form
<a>
<b>(some base64 ur-safe-encoded data)</b>
</a>
I use minidom to parse the xml posted, and now try to decode the data
using the following
import minidom
import base64
decData = base64.urlsafe_b64decode(data) #data is the above mentioned
url-safe-encoded data
This line fails with the following error
Error : <type 'exceptions.TypeError'>
Error : character mapping must return integer, None or unicode
Error : <traceback object at 0x1b38e40>
If i run the same data through a script on the terminal, I am able to
successfully decode the data.
What could be the reason for this error? Can it be because of some
encoding introduced by minidom?
I think urlsafe_b64decode takes ascii string.
Thanks,
Kaushik
