--------------------------------------------------------------------- View the issue: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XERCESC-1247 Here is an overview of the issue: --------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: XERCESC-1247 Summary: Base64::decode fails when string contains consecutive whitespace Type: Bug Status: Unassigned Priority: Major Project: Xerces-C++ Components: Utilities Versions: 2.5.0 Assignee: Reporter: Frank Pilhofer Created: Fri, 30 Jul 2004 11:57 AM Updated: Fri, 30 Jul 2004 11:57 AM Environment: N/A Description: The Base64::decode function requires that the input string does not contain more than one consecutive whitespace. However, there is no such restriction in RFC 2045, "Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions," which defines the Base 64 encoding in section 6.8. In fact, it clearly states that Any characters outside of the base64 alphabet are to be ignored in base64-encoded data. Note that the current implementation would, e.g., fail if the input string contains a CR LF sequence. Proposed resolution: get rid of the "inWhiteSpace" test. --------------------------------------------------------------------- JIRA INFORMATION: This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
