Steve,

I just double checked two different implementation available on the web.  They only 
encode A..Za..Z0-9+/  

Refer to http://www.kbcafe.com/articles/HowTo.Base64.pdf for more info.  I got bit by 
this issue a few months ago.  In any case, there are different Base-64 
encoder/decoders out there.  Maybe this is an error but a commonly used one.

Rick

???

It uses a limited set on the wire, but can encode arbitrary binary data
