Hello list,
I use base64 encoding to send license information to users. So, when
he enters it to the application, I need to decode and analyze it.
Since there is no standard solution for this in Cocoa, I found few
implementations in the Internet and used one. This one:
http://www.cocoadev.com/index.pl?BaseSixtyFour
(see -decodeBase64WithNewlines method).
It worked fine till yesterday, when I received an error report from
one user, who works on Tiger (10.4.11). On his Mac this method
returned empty NSData. I tried his key on my Mac - it worked without a
problem (I have OS X 10.5). Key was created using openssl, so I don't
think that it is bad.
I switched to another algorithm, the same link, but
-dataWithBase64EncodedString method. It works fine on my Mac too,
right now I'm waiting for the user's reply.
Did anybody have the same problem? Any ideas? I don't believe that
Tiger has lack of base64 support in openssl.
