Class: XMLRPC::Base64

Relationships & Source Files

Defined in: lib/xmlrpc/base64.rb

Overview

This class is necessary for 'xmlrpc4r' to determine that a string should be transmitted base64-encoded and not as a raw-string.

You can use Base64 on the client and server-side as a parameter and/or return-value.

Class Method Summary

Instance Method Summary

  • #decoded

    Returns the decoded internal string.

  • #encoded

    Returns the base64 encoded internal string.

Constructor Details

.new(str, state = :dec) ⇒ Base64

Creates a new Base64 instance with string str as the internal string. When state is :dec it assumes that the string str is not in base64 format (perhaps already decoded), otherwise if state is :enc it decodes str and stores it as the internal string.
