ns_uuencode(3aolserver) AOLserver Built-In Commands ns_uuencode(3aolserver)

NAME

ns_uudecode, ns_uuencode - commands

SYNOPSIS

ns_uudecode string

ns_uuencode string

DESCRIPTION

ns_uudecode performs HTTP-style uudecoding and returns the decoded value.

ns_uuencode performs HTTP-style uuencoding and returns the encoding value. The input string is limited to a maximum length of 48 characters. The encoding string will be approximately 33% longer than the original.

Note: This is HTTP-style uuencoding/uudecoding which is sometimes called "htuu" (see RFC 1113). It is not compatible with the format used by the Unix uuencode/uudecode commands, nor is it base-64 encoding.

For base-64 encoding, consider using the base64 Tcl package in tcllib (see http://tcllib.sourceforge.net).

EXAMPLES

nscp> ns_uuencode username dXNlcm5hbWU=
