Hi all,
I am sure that this is more of a security question and does not
pertain to 'debian', please advice me to re-route this mail to
appropriate list if you are offended.
I am trying to encode using base64 to get data for SMTP authentication
which i am experimenting upon. I stumbled upon this issue. I am not sure
why this is happening.
Say the text to be encoded is "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
$ perl
use MIME::Base64;
print encode_base64("[EMAIL PROTECTED]");
aGVscC5jb20=
$ echo "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" | openssl base64
aGVscEBiYXNlLmNvbQo=
why are these two different ? Are'nt they supposed to be same ?
