Hello,

I believe we have similar situations.

Actually I don´t need (and I can´t) encode the whole string, only chars considered invalid to base64. What I am doing is the same as you: I´m replacing some chars explicitly to the corresponding one in base64.

Example:
":" to %3A
"/" to %2F
"+" to %2B

The problem here, is that I missing some char and getting an error from server: "Invalid character in a Base-64 string."

Well, back to my research :)

Thanks,
Marcelo.

hello,

I am using NameValuePairs to transfer some strings
to a server with the following content type:

application/x-www-form-urlencoded

My content change from  "!"  to  "%12"

Can I also use encoder/decoder for my strings or
is  there a better way to transfer data correctly?

Which kind of charset should I use?

bastian



 import org.apache.commons.codec.binary.Base64;

byte[] bytes = "I love my byte array".getBytes();
byte[] base64Bytes = Base64.encodeBase64( bytes );

System.out.println( new String( base64Bytes ) );
Outputs:

SSBsb3ZlIG15IGJ5dGUgYXJyYXk=

Good luck!  Like Roland said, "commons-codec.jar" is already on your
classpath.  The Base64 class is available for you to use.

yours,

Julius
