XML-RPC applet fix: removed sun.misc dependency
Hi all,
I am using your XML-RPC (1.0) in an applet. At first, things didn't work
because org.apache.xmlrpc.applet.XmlRpcSupport referred to
sun.misc.BASE64Encoder for encoding/decoding base64 data. This is Sun
specific and does not work on all browsers. On my setup, things only
functioned correctly only using Netscape 4.x. Both IE, and Mozilla failed.
Other users also encountered this problem, with no solution offered:
http://helma.org/archives/xmlrpc/2000-August/000164.html
I easily fixed this by removing the dependency on sun.misc.BASE64* to
org.apache.xmlrpc.Base64. Now, it works across all browsers.
Please let me know what you think of this patch. I've successfully
transferred binary data between a PHP XML-RPC server and an XML-RPC
applet (both ways).
Regards,

I didn't know about that problem.
Fixed in CVS now...
