Re: Encoding base64 with XSLT

having said that the example you gave was

TfxsbGVy

which is the base64 encoding of the latin-1 encoded characters, which is
rather strange. Do you really want to use latin1? How would you encode
characters above position 127 in that case?

I just looked at
http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2849.html
and I think that your example is wrong, the spec uses a datatype of

BASE64-UTF8-STRING

so presumably the characters should be utf8 encoded before base 64
encoding (so u-umlaut would take two bytes in the string that is being
base64 encoded not one).

Thanks for your answers.
