You could, but it has too many years since I did any assembler or C. I have 20+ years in VFP so I am going to do everything there if I can. I use the windows API alot so will go that way if possible.
STRCONV will do the base64 (thanks to Tracy). The VFP manual for XML web services talks about UTF-16 (making the double bytes that I need in case the password has characters that are not plain text). I still don't know about the SHA1. ----- Original Message ----- From: Stephen Russell To: ProFox Email List Sent: Friday, May 08, 2009 12:38 PM Subject: Re: VFP9 SP1 encoding little endian UTF 16, SHA1, base64 On Fri, May 8, 2009 at 1:54 PM, KAM.covad <[email protected]> wrote: > I need to encode a password: > 1. convert to upper case (yes, I know how to do this) > 2.

You could make a dll to do that and register it. You pass in string and it returns string back. -- Stephen Russell Sr. Production Systems Programmer Web and Windows Development Independent Contractor Memphis TN 901.246-0159 [excessive quoting removed by server] _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/033201c9d016$6ef86400$8600a...@w2k3s02 ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
