Base64 decoding problem

This Base64 encoded message won't be decoded because of the LineBreak after each 76 characters!

Please note that Base64ToBinSafe is used for decoding.

Re: Base64 decoding problem

@ab - current Base64ToBin do not understand so called "transfer encoding for MIME (RFC 2045)" base64 as provided above.

We have such parser in SyNode here in SyNodeBinding_buffer.pas anyBase64ToBin

Implementation is copy-pasted from SynCommons and patched to support:
- optional padings
- RFC 2045
- 2 bytes representation of str (0xC1 0x0 0xC2 0x0 ...)
- estimate a length of result

I use it in production for many years - so implementation can be moved to SynCommons.pas

P.S
Not sure the original source is SynCommons - may be I translate this parser from Apache as noted in comments there

Re: Base64 decoding problem

As the new lines are encoded within the base64 string itself, I believe it must be safe to replace the breaks with nothing before decoding.

Re: Base64 decoding problem

@macfly - as a simple solution - yes, but replace require an additional memory allocations

Re: Base64 decoding problem

@mpv, Yes I agree with you.

My suggestion was for a workarround.
