#4890: URL compatible base64 encoding/decoding (RFC 3548)
----------------------------------------------+-----------------------------
 Reporter: anonymous | Owner: ramey
     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.
