base64 has old references that should be updated #80881
Comments
The documentation for base64 library has an RFC that is obsolete. |
base64 supports RFC 3548, but not RFC 4648. ===================================================================== Added the "base32 extended hex alphabet", needed to preserve sort Referenced IMAP for the special Base64 encoding used there. Fixed the example copied from RFC 2440. Added security consideration about providing a signature for Added test vectors. Fixed typos. To support RFC 4648 we need to add support for base 32 encoding with extended hex alphabet (see 16995). Check also that RFC 4648 test vectors are used in the module tests. |
See bpo-16995. |
We can update the references without supporting every mode given in the new document. It is common for people to support RFC X without supporting every possible option of RFC X. Having said that, I think adding extended hex makes good sense, if possible. |
Now that issue bpo-16995 is resolved, I think we can move forward with updating the text. |
Thanks for reporting, Paul, and Andrei for the patch! ✨ 🍰 ✨ |
