libcurl base64-encodes control data in a few places automatically when required (e.g. for Basic authentication), but it won't encode data. If your application requires base64-encoded data, it will need to be so encoded in the app. And those two functions are not actually part of the libcurl API, so they aren't even available for use in apps, anyway. >>> Dan ------------------------------------------------------------------- List admin: http://cool.haxx.se/list/listinfo/curl-library Etiquette: http://curl.haxx.se/mail/etiquette.html
