Has anyone attempted to use Xerces' Base64 output with another Base64 encoder? I have a Visual Basic project which is forcing me to use Microsoft's CAPICOM Base64 encoding, and I'm getting some strange results. I can take CAPICOM-encoded output and successfully decode it with Xerces, but not vice versa. For a test, I encoded the same bitmap with both Xerces and CAPICOM, and the Base64 text differs. However, if I decode both CAPICOM-encoded and Xerces-encoded Base64 with Xerces, the resulting binary files are identical. I haven't really attempted to understand the Base64 algorithm beyond the basic 3-to-4 mapping. How much flexibility is in the standard? Recommendations on how to get CAPICOM to ingest my Xerces-encoded output is beyond the purview of this list, but any recommendations on tools to validate the Base64, etc?
