Hi,
A campus web server (not under my control) returns an authentication
string in a cookie named AUTH. The cookie's value is an encrypted,
base64 encoded string. Unfortunately, when I examine $_COOKIE['AUTH'],
it is clear that all of the '+' characters have been replaced with a ' '
character in the base64 string. Why is this? Obviously, this corrupts
the data and makes it impossible to base64-decode the string correctly.
I believe this is a php issue and not, say, an apache issue because a
perl program can correctly authenticate the same cookie based on perl's
$ENV{'HTTP_COOKIE'}. i.e., the perl cookie contains the original '+'.
Does anyone know how to make php (v5.1.5) do the right thing with base64
encoded cookies?
Thanks
Fletcher
