> base64 decoder in apache xml-rpc can't handle whitespace
> (' ', \r, \n, \t) embeded in Base64 data. As a number of
> clients split base64 in a multiple lines (example,
> python xmlrpclib) this is a serious interoperability issue.
> To make things worse apache xmlrpc don't even throw an
> exception, instead it incorrectly decodes data. 
> In order to fix this bug you can use any of number of
> correct opensource base64 encoders available on a net.
