[Fwd: Moving Base64 in HttpClient to commons-codec]

[Ryan Hoegg <rh...@isisnetworks.net>]

Just noticed this on the HttpClient mailing list.  Looks like things are 
happening with Base64.  We should make sure our interests are 
represented as well.  I know very little about the "new" version of 
Base64 in the HttpClient package, but we should at least make sure that 
our problems do not resurface.

Of course, we could just ignore them and keep our own fork.  (-1)

I am posting this instead of doing this because there is a risk I won't 
get time to look at it for a couple days.

I just had a look at the HttpClient version. I can't see much  
difference from the "base" Base64 code (the one that subsequently got  
copied into various jakarta projects), apart from some reformatting.

The httpclient version still has the whitespace and non-Base64  
character issues ...
