Hi Alan,

The base64 routine in HTTPAPI is intended for use internally within HTTPAPI. If you change the code so that you can call it directly, I will not support that change.

I put a great deal of effort into maintaining backward compatibility between releases of HTTPAPI, and I make no promises whatsoever that I will keep the base64 routine backward compatible, or even continue to include it with HTTPAPI. It's an internal routine, so all bets are off.

Please consider either using my base64r4 project, or the base64 function that's included in the IBM i operating system, instead.

This is driving me crazy. I checked the archives but don't see anything
about it.

I have been using the HTTPAPI for a long time but today I need to use the
base64 encoding routines that are included in it but when I compile the
program it says the routines are not there.

I look at the service program and it says they are not exported but I look
and the encode module is included and when I looked everything is exported
but does not show up in the service program.

I tried recompiling but still don't show the routines included.

Anybody else run into this?
