Commit 8bfb7506d2
updated
`BIO_f_base64(3)` to improve the documentation of the
`BIO_FLAGS_BASE64_NO_NL` flag. In particular, the updated text
states that when this flag is used, all newlines in the input are
ignored. This is incorrect, as the following program proves:
```c
unsigned char *in_buf =
"IlRoZSBxdWljayBicm93biBmb3gganVt\ncHMgb3ZlciBhIGxhenkgZG9nLiI=\n";
int main(int argc, char **argv) {
BIO *b64 = BIO_new(BIO_f_base64());
if (b64 == NULL) return 1;
BIO_set_flags(b64, BIO_get_flags(b64) | BIO_FLAGS_BASE64_NO_NL);
int in_len = strlen(in_buf);
BIO *in = BIO_new_mem_buf(in_buf, in_len);
if (in == NULL) return 2;
in = BIO_push(b64, in);
unsigned char *out_buf = calloc(in_len, sizeof(unsigned char));
if (out_buf == NULL) return 3;
size_t out_len;
int r = BIO_read_ex(in, out_buf, in_len, &out_len);
printf("rv = %d\n", r);
printf("decoded = %s\n", out_buf);
return 0;
}
```
Update the text of `BIO_f_base64(3)` to clarify that when the flag
is set, the data must be all on one line (with or without a trailing
newline character).

BIO_f_base64 - base64 BIO filter
|

|

const BIO_METHOD *BIO_f_base64(void);
|
|
|
|
=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
BIO_f_base64() returns the base64 BIO method. This is a filter
|
|
BIO that base64 encodes any data written through it and decodes
|
|
any data read through it.
|
|
|
|
Base64 BIOs do not support BIO_gets() or BIO_puts().
|
|
|
|
For writing, output is by default divided to lines of length 64
|
|
characters and there is always a newline at the end of output.
|
|
|
|
For reading, first line should be at most 1024
|
|
characters long. If it is longer then it is ignored completely.
|
|
Other input lines can be of any length. There must be a newline
|
|
at the end of input.
|
|
|
|
This behavior can be changed with BIO_FLAGS_BASE64_NO_NL flag.
|
|
|
|
BIO_flush() on a base64 BIO that is being written through is
|
|
used to signal that no more data is to be encoded: this is used
|
|
to flush the final block through the BIO.
|
|
|
|
The flag BIO_FLAGS_BASE64_NO_NL can be set with BIO_set_flags().
|
|
For writing, it causes all data to be written on one line without
|
|
newline at the end.
|
|
For reading, it expects the data to be all on one line (with or
|
|
without a trailing newline).
|
|
|
|
=head1 NOTES
|
|
|
|
Because of the format of base64 encoding the end of the encoded
|
|
block cannot always be reliably determined.
|
|
|
|
=head1 RETURN VALUES
|
|
|
|
BIO_f_base64() returns the base64 BIO method.
|
|
|
|
=head1 EXAMPLES
|
|
|
|
Base64 encode the string "Hello World\n" and write the result
|
|
to standard output:
|
|
|
|
BIO *bio, *b64;
|
|
char message[] = "Hello World \n";
|
|
|
|
b64 = BIO_new(BIO_f_base64());
|
|
bio = BIO_new_fp(stdout, BIO_NOCLOSE);
|
|
BIO_push(b64, bio);
|
|
BIO_write(b64, message, strlen(message));
|
|
BIO_flush(b64);
|
|
|
|
BIO_free_all(b64);
|
|
|
|
Read Base64 encoded data from standard input and write the decoded
|
|
data to standard output:
|
|
|
|
BIO *bio, *b64, *bio_out;
|
|
char inbuf[512];
|
|
int inlen;
|
|
|
|
b64 = BIO_new(BIO_f_base64());
|
|
bio = BIO_new_fp(stdin, BIO_NOCLOSE);
|
|
bio_out = BIO_new_fp(stdout, BIO_NOCLOSE);
|
|
BIO_push(b64, bio);
|
|
while ((inlen = BIO_read(b64, inbuf, 512)) > 0)
|
|
BIO_write(bio_out, inbuf, inlen);
|
|
|
|
BIO_flush(bio_out);
|
|
BIO_free_all(b64);
|
|
|
|
=head1 BUGS
|
|
|
|
The ambiguity of EOF in base64 encoded data can cause additional
|
|
data following the base64 encoded block to be misinterpreted.
|
|
|
|
There should be some way of specifying a test that the BIO can perform
|
|
to reliably determine EOF (for example a MIME boundary).
