Hi everyone,

The --upload-xml-change feature can't log into the API server. The problem 
seems to come from the conversion of the username:password to Base64.

When running

osmosis -v 9 --rxc file="yourOsmChange.osm" --upload-xml-change user=you 
password=secret

, instead of uploading the changes, osmosis sends an incorrect 
username:password string and receives a 401 Authentication required error.

When comparing osmosis and wget tcpdumps, I see that the http credentials they 
send are different. Wget's credentials string base64-decodes back to my 
username:password, while osmosis's string doesn't at all.

The problem comes from the base64 conversion that is being done by the apache 
common codecs library. httpCon.setRequestProperty() expects a String, but gets 
a byte[] back from encodeBase64. This patch calls encodeBase64String which 
returns a String instead.

I wonder whether there's something I'm missing. How could it even work in the 
first place? I haven't been able to compile osmosis (the unit tests fail 
without a database), but encodeBase64String produces right-looking credentials 
for me in test code.

What do you think?

Cheers,

Guillaume
