(PowerBuilder) Base64url Encoding

Base64url encoding is identical to base64 encoding except it uses non-reserved URL characters (e.g. '–' is used instead of '+', and '_' is used instead of '/') and it omits the padding characters. Chilkat adds support for "base64url" in version 9.5.0.56. (To be released Q1 2016.) The list of binary encodings supported by Chilkat are documented at Chilkat Binary Encodings For any supported encoding, such as base64, hex, url, quoted-printable, modbase64, base64url, etc., the encoding name may be used in any "EncodingMode" property or in any method argument that specifies a binary encoding. (Please note that a "binary encoding" is different than a "character encoding". Character encodings supported by Chilkat are listed at Chilkat Character Encodings.) This example demonstrates using base64url encoding by setting the RSA object's EncodingMode property equal to "base64url".
