| Description: |
base64::decode fails while decoding invalid base64 strings.
If the string is "=" or "àà=" or "{what ever you want invalid base64 characters}={what ever you want}", it will bug when reading the "=" character.
With the patch, it will return the empty string.

Logged In: YES user_id=202636 Originator: NO You have [catch] for dealing with errors raised. Garbage in should be considered an error. mic42 added on 2008-01-15 03:41:31: Logged In: YES user_id=302287 Originator: NO Its probably not a good idea to mask an error (and feeding junk into the decoder is clearly an error) by simply returning an empty string. billiob added on 2008-01-12 21:06:10: File Added - 261921: base64.tcl.patch | |||
