Detailed Description

This class is used to encode/decode data using the MIME standard base64 encoding mechanism as defined in RFC1521.

To encode a large block of data use the following seqeunce: {verbatim} PBase64 base; base.StartEncoding(); while (Read(dataChunk)) { base.ProcessEncoding(dataChunk); out << base.GetEncodedString(); } out << base.CompleteEncoding(); {verbatim}

if smaller blocks that fit easily in memory are to be encoded the Encode()# functions can be used to everything in one go.

To decode a large block of data use the following sequence: {verbatim}

PBase64 base; base.StartDecoding(); while (Read(str) && ProcessDecoding(str)) Write(base.GetDecodedData()); Write(base.GetDecodedData()); {verbatim}

if smaller blocks that fit easily in memory are to be decoded the Decode()# functions can be used to everything in one go.

void PBase64::ProcessEncoding

(

const PBYTEArray &

data

)

void PBase64::ProcessEncoding	(	const void *	dataBlock,
		PINDEX	length
	)

PString PBase64::GetEncodedString

(

)

Get the partial Base64 string for the data encoded so far.

Returns:

Base64 encoded string for the processed data.

PString PBase64::CompleteEncoding

(

)

Complete the base 64 encoding and return the remainder of the encoded Base64 string. Previous data may have been already removed by the GetInterim()# function.

Returns:

Base64 encoded string for the processed data.

static PString PBase64::Encode

(

const PString &

str

)

[static]

static PString PBase64::Encode

(

const char *

static PString PBase64::Encode

(

const PBYTEArray &

data

)

[static]

static PString PBase64::Encode	(	const void *	dataBlock,
		PINDEX	length
	)			[static]

void PBase64::StartDecoding

(

)

PBoolean PBase64::ProcessDecoding

(

const PString &

str

)

Incorporate the specified data into the base 64 decoding.

Returns:

PTrue if block was last in the Base64 encoded string.

PBoolean PBase64::ProcessDecoding

(

const char *

cstr

)

PBoolean PBase64::GetDecodedData	(	void *	dataBlock,
		PINDEX	length
	)

Get the data decoded so far from the Base64 strings processed.

Returns:

Decoded data for the processed Base64 string.

PBYTEArray PBase64::GetDecodedData

(

)

PBoolean PBase64::IsDecodeOK

(

)

[inline]

Return a flag to indicate that the input was decoded without any extraneous or illegal characters in it that were ignored. This does not mean that the data is not valid, only that it is suspect.

Returns:

Decoded data for the processed Base64 string.

static PString PBase64::Decode

(

const PString &

str

)

[static]

Convert a printable text string to binary data using the Internet MIME standard base 64 content transfer encoding.

The base64 string is checked and PTrue returned if all perfectly correct. If PFalse is returned then the string had extraneous or illegal characters in it that were ignored. This does not mean that the data is not valid, only that it is suspect.

Returns:

Base 64 string decoded from input string.

static PBoolean PBase64::Decode	(	const PString &	str,
		PBYTEArray &	data
	)			[static]

static PBoolean PBase64::Decode	(	const PString &	str,
		void *	dataBlock,
		PINDEX	length
	)			[static]
