Re: Base64 Decoding

[Michael Ryan <michaelrtr@xxxxxxxxx>]

   Perry White? Editor in Chief of the Daily Planet? Or is it Mr.
   Mxyzptlk? Backwards?
   So I'm using the HTTPAPI wrapper (Ice...Ice baby) and it's returning
   an element for each chunk. I'm currently writing that to a file in
   preparation of the Base64 decoding. But I'm thinking I can probably
   put all this together...get a piece of data, compress out white space,
   decode it, write it to a file.
   Then I need to print the file as a PDF.
   1985 was a good year.

     150K!  120K!  Great caesars ghost! The only power source capable of
     generating 1.21 gigawatts of electricity is a BOLT OF LIGHTNING!
     But
     nobody knows where one will strike...

     Without breaking a sweat.

     Sure... if done correctly.  Are we really talking about Expat, or
     are we
     talking about HTTPAPI's wrapper for it?

   > Any ideas on how I can process this big element?

     We'll see if we can harness a bolt of lightning and get you back to
     the
     future, in 1985, where it's easy to handle such large volumes of
     data.
