http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=9931 Base64 decoder chokes on a whitespace ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2002-09-28 08:45 ------- Well MIME RFC is a governing standard for most base64 implementations: http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2045.html On a page 27 the recomend folding at 76th column and ignoring newlines. That would be enough for interoperability with Python's xmlrpclib. However for max interoperability I think all whitespace should be silently ignored ( \t\r\n) (tabs and spaces can be inserted by XML formatters at a begining of line) and exception should be throwed if character outside base64 chars and whitespace is found. Current impl (I haven't checked CVS recently) decodes base64 encoded binary with newlines at 76th column into a slightly larger and distinctly different binary without raising any exceptions. I find it some how unusable so I've replaced it with oreilly's base64 decored -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
