Here is the problem: Suppose you have 1 byte - that's 8 bits. Now you encode that into 3 bit octet + 3 bit octet + 2 bits. The last is extended to a byte so you have a 3 byte "file". now you translate back into inary. Your "file" has 3 bytes. Each byte is translated backinto binary as 3 bits + 3 bits + 3 bits - 9 bits which turns out to be 2 bytes. So our original bitstream has been extended from 8 bits to 16. In the serialization library I record first the total number of bytes and and send that first. The iterator "stack" I use to translate is terminated by a count rather than some special "end" iterator. To me this problem is inherent in the base 64 encoding scheme as I understand it.

Hello.
I am seeing the same problems. base64 encoding works for some input and not others.
Does anyone know if this is fixed in RC 1_34_0 or cvs head?
Thanks,
