Hi all.
I'm having some trouble using Tomcat 5.0.27 and using it as a layer for a XML-RPC server
using Apache XML-RPC package. I'm not sure if this is a Tomcat relevant problem, but
the webserver that comes with the XML-RPC behaves differently.
The problem is as follows:
I call an XML-RPC method which basically is XML on top of HTTP. I'm sending
some binary data which implicitly is converted to base64 when sent over HTTP.
These are surrounded by <base64>-tags. When I use Tomcat all the binary data
gets corrupted, and when I'm inspecting the inpustream I can see that all the base64
encoded data gets split up with newlines every 76th character. These newlines
confuses the base64 decoder used in Apache XML-RPC package so the data
gets crippled. It's my understanding that base64-encoded strings should not
have any newlines in it at all since it's not part of the base64-alphabet.
My question is:
I assume servlet.jar implementation is making some newline insertions, since it works
fine if I use the same client to talk to the webserver packaged within Apache XML-RPC.
Is this something that needs to be addressed in Tomcat or should I turn this problem to Apache XML-RPC?
Any thoughts appreciated.
Regards, Frank
