Talk:Base64 encode data
task requirements
Should the output be shown when converting the Rosetta Code icon (favicon.ico)?
I would prefer to show something shorter/smaller (and can be used to verify the various program's outputs) such as the five examples that the Wikipedia article on Base64 [1] that were used as illustrations (as used in the REXX example). -- Gerard Schildberger (talk) 16:25, 27 August 2013 (UTC)
- Now that I think of it I'd like it to split the task or to merge these tasks.
- Base64 Encode a string
- Base64 Encode an image
- Base64 Decode a Base64'd string.
- But these would require a change on the task requirements, I guess I didn't thought that well, before.. creating this draft. Rainb (talk) 04:37, 28 August 2013 (UTC)
- That's why the task is first made a draft. --- to iron out the requirements and make the task clearer. Currently, the requirement is to use/convert the favicon.ico (file), but not to show the result. How is anyone to know the currect result is if nobody compares/verifies the OUTPUTs? I would like to see if the programming examples can correctly handle the various padding variations (= and == and no equal signs). Unfortunately, the file to be used doesn't have any = padding in the output. So far, nobody has shown the 4,850 bytes of output ... until now. -- Gerard Schildberger (talk) 05:12, 28 August 2013 (UTC)

- I had the exact same problem a few years back. One had to use the Upload file link at the bottom of the (left) sidebar, but I can't find it now. -- Gerard Schildberger (talk) 21:30, 28 August 2013 (UTC)
- Yes, I think omit using (web) images as input to Rosetta Code programs should be dropped. For me, it's a bit of bother as my language-of-choice doesn't grab files from the web, so I have to download them first. -- Gerard Schildberger (talk) 21:08, 28 August 2013 (UTC)
