Marc Parisi updated MINIFICPP-1100:
-----------------------------------
Description:
Per the discussion of MINIFICPP-1026, I think using and referencing boost lib
for not only this component but also others is ideal. Further since we have
increased the build with static libs we might as well begin explore simply
using boost directly. The size of the build is moot at that point. We should
have rationale why custom libs are added to our core when alternatives exist
that are more widely used and thus reduce our threat footprint.
"Yep. I was 1. My gut suggestion was to use boost's base 64 since it's
relatively isolated. If you look at the boost variant they mention portions
come from this repo ( [https://github.com/ReneNyffenegger/cpp-base64])"
