[jira] [Commented] (DIRSTUDIO-802) confusion between ISO-8859-1 and
UTF-8 in the encode/decode LDAP gui tool
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRSTUDIO-802?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13247706#comment-13247706 ]
Emmanuel Lecharny commented on DIRSTUDIO-802:
---------------------------------------------
> The encode/decode tool (from the LDAP menu) gives "aGVydsOp" for BASE-64 encoding from the ISO-8859-1 string "hervé".
Which is expected. "hervé" when encoded using UTF-8 should be converted to aGVydsOp when base 64 encoded.
Every String in LDAP is supposed to be UTF-8.
The base 64 encoding for "hervé" encoded in ISO-8859-1 would be aGVyduk=
> while the website http://www.base64decode.org/
Can't access it.
Give www.motobit.com/util/base64-decoder-encoder.asp a try.
> gives the same results from the same string but in UTF-8.
> Also UTF-8 BASE 64 encoding of Apache Directory Studio match with ISO-8859-1 BASE64 encoding of the previous website.
No, not if the web site I provided, AFAICT
> The result from my own java code match with that website.
Can you provide your code ?
