If I understand correctly, the base64 encode will turn the data into something like this:
TWFuIGlzIGRpc3Rpbmd1aXNoZWQsIG5vdCBvbmx5IGJ5IGhpcyByZWFzb24sIGJ1dCBieSB0aGlz IHNpbmd1bGFyIHBhc3Npb24gZnJvbSBvdGhlciBhbmltYWxzLCB3aGljaCBpcyBhIGx1c3Qgb2Yg dGhlIG1pbmQsIHRoYXQgYnkgYSBwZXJzZXZlcmFuY2Ugb2YgZGVsaWdodCBpbiB0aGUgY29udGlu dWVkIGFuZCBpbmRlZmF0aWdhYmxlIGdlbmVyYXRpb24gb2Yga25vd2xlZGdlLCBleGNlZWRzIHRo ZSBzaG9ydCB2ZWhlbWVuY2Ugb2YgYW55IGNhcm5hbCBwbGVhc3VyZS4= At which point UrlEncode() would serve no purpose. Having said that.. I'm not sure why urldecode is throwing an error. Even if you pass it a straight unencoded text string, it should just.. do nothing to it. (If there are no % signs, theres nothing to decode.. It might hork something if there ARE % signs, but it shouldn't cause a crash) Either way though, I think it should be Either/Or. Either url encode, OR base64 encode.
