     Type:  Feature Requests                  |      Status:  new          
Milestone:  To Be Determined                  |   Component:  serialization
  Version:  Boost 1.43.0                      |    Severity:  Optimization 
 Keywords:  archive iterator base64 encoding  |  
----------------------------------------------+-----------------------------
 We use the boost archive library for serialization of binary data which
 will be part of an URL. We encode the binary stream using the iterators
 transform_width and base64_from_binary. Since the base64_from_binary
 iterator uses symbols which must not be used in URLs we’ve derived a
 base64URL_from_binary iterator (and its counterpart), which follows RFC
 3548 chapter 4.
 The code is a copy of the original base64_from_binary.hpp and
 binary_from_base64.hpp which is modified to use the symbols '-' and '_'
 instead of '+' and '/' for the values 62 and 63.
