PowerScript function

Description

Encodes a blob value using Base64Url encoder. Base64UrlEncode is an
improved Base64Encode for URL. Base64UrlEncode and Base64Encode character
sets are the same except for the last set of characters where Base64Url
replaces “+” with “-” and “/” with “_”.

Applies to

CoderObject object

Syntax

coder.Base64UrlEncode ( variable )

1	coder.Base64UrlEncode ( variable )

Argument	Description

variable	A blob whose value is the data you want to encode with Base64Url encoder. When using the system blob function to convert a string to a blob, it is recommended to specify its encoding argument to be EncodingANSI! (for English characters only) or EncodingUTF8!, otherwise, the default EncodingUTF16LE! will be used.

Argument

Examples

This statement encodes the data using Base64Url and returns the
encoded data.

CoderObject lco_Code
Blob lbb_Data
String ls_Return

lco_Code = Create CoderObject

lbb_Data = Blob ( "Test Base64Url", EncodingUTF8! )
ls_Return = lco_Code.Base64UrlEncode(lbb_Data)

Destroy ( lco_Code )
