Ok, I'm an idiot. It works fine, my client's app had an XSS preventive file running prior to the action page executing stripping out + and = characters so once I added this variable to the allowable fields, it worked fine. Sorry about the spam, :).
-- Phil -----Original Message----- From: Phillip Duba [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, March 27, 2007 1:41 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Base64 Fun I have a form page that is expecting to receive a form variable containing a Base64 string submitted from a vendor. I keep getting a message that the input and output encodings are not the same or the paraemter isn't a Base64 encoded string, depending on the way I try and do the Base64 decoding. I can't post all of my original code, but I created a test script that generates the same result. Here it is: On test form submittal page <cfset plainString = "<data><dataTable>High there</dataTable></data>"> <cfoutput>#XmlFormat(plainString)#</cfoutput> <form action="formAction.cfm" method="post"> <cfoutput> <input type="hidden" name="base64String" value="#ToBase64(plainString)#"> </cfoutput> <input type="submit" value="Submit"> </form> On the form action page <!--- New Way ---> <cfoutput>#CharsetEncode(BinaryDecode(form.base64String,"Base64"),"utf-8 ")#</cfoutput> <!--- Old Way ---> <cfoutput>#ToString(ToBinary(form.base64String),"utf-8")#</cfoutput> The Base64 string I'm receiving is an XML string. If I change the method above to get and replace form with url on the action page, everything works fine. I'm running CFMX 7.0.2 on IIS 5.1. I'm thinking there something else I need to be doing on the action page with encoding, but CFHEADER didn't affect anything. Any help or thoughts would be appreciated.
