Which is why I said it shouldn't matter in the first place. ;^) > Your assumption would imply that CF 4.5 encodes wrong base64 but still > decoded back right, It's not an assumption really - I doubt it will work. However I used CF 4.5 to encode the string, and it decodes just fine in CF 4.5 (and MX). However IF CF 5.0 has a bug in it's decoding process it may be that the same bug is shared by the encoding process. This may be the reason that it made it through CF 5's testing: it can decode its own encoded strings, but not those of other versions. This IS unlikely to be the case, but it just may be! Obviously some version of CF just doesn't follow the standard very well.
