Emmanuel Lecharny commented on DIRSTUDIO-802:
---------------------------------------------
Here is what I get when I use this snippet of code :
@Test
public void testUtf8Base64() throws UnsupportedEncodingException
{
String name = new String( "herv\u00e9" ); // Hervé in Unicode
byte[] utf8 = Strings.getBytesUtf8( name );
System.out.println( Strings.dumpBytes( utf8 ) );
String utf8Base64 = new String( Base64.encode( utf8 ) );
System.out.println( "Herv\u00e9 utf-8 base 64 encoded : " + utf8Base64
);
byte[] iso8859 = name.getBytes( "ISO-8859-1" );
System.out.println( Strings.dumpBytes( iso8859 ) );
String iso8859Base64 = new String( Base64.encode( iso8859 ) );
System.out.println( "Herv\u00e9 ISO-8859-1 base 64 encoded : " +
iso8859Base64 );
}
produces :
0x68 0x65 0x72 0x76 0xC3 0xA9
Hervé utf-8 base 64 encoded : aGVydsOp
0x68 0x65 0x72 0x76 0xE9
Hervé ISO-8859-1 base 64 encoded : aGVyduk=
> confusion between ISO-8859-1 and UTF-8 in the encode/decode LDAP gui tool

> Key: DIRSTUDIO-802
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRSTUDIO-802
> Project: Directory Studio
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 1.5.3
> Environment: Windows XP pro
> Reporter: julien2512
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: decode, encode, iso-8859-1, utf8
> Attachments: encode-decode LDAP demo 1.PNG, encode-decode LDAP demo
> 2.PNG
>
> Original Estimate: 1h
> Remaining Estimate: 1h
>
> The encode/decode tool (from the LDAP menu) gives "aGVydsOp" for BASE-64
> encoding from the ISO-8859-1 string "hervé".
> while the website http://www.base64decode.org/ gives the same results from
> the same string but in UTF-8.
> Also UTF-8 BASE 64 encoding of Apache Directory Studio match with ISO-8859-1
> BASE64 encoding of the previous website.
> The result from my own java code match with that website.
> I think there is a confusion between ISO-8859-1 and UTF-8 in the
> encode/decode LDAP gui tool of Apache Directory Studio.
> It will be easy to fix.
