First of all I would like to mention that I have no prior experience with this, so please bare over if the question sounds stupid.
I have a URL that creates some sort of query, but it's encoded as either base64 or base64url. I'm not sure which one of them.
The url itself looks like the following: https://example.com/req.php?req=0-0S97kzhT60089CUZpOmkXlD7sCrhHI8BJ6fAw2IFucwKe2ggnNAZ9iuaWEoK7ziIRnau3to3KmtrJGBW8ubXIPltFm-W8FTcgriA==&rnd=50000.794176&c=50000
From my basic web understanding I assume that & is a new parameter in the url.
I've tried various base64 / base64url tools online to help me decode it, but have been unsuccessful so far. I assume this is the encoded part? 0-0S97kzhT60089CUZpOmkXlD7sCrhHI8BJ6fAw2IFucwKe2ggnNAZ9iuaWEoK7ziIRnau3to3KmtrJGBW8ubXIPltFm-W8FTcgriA==&rnd=50000.794176&c=50000
The various tools i've tried returns that it's not UTF-8 or just rubbish text
Can anyone help me with various resources I should look into or share their knowledge.

What's the best way to encode a URL in progress. I want to build an encoded URL and don't want to write my own encoding function. Is there a command that can be run or a function that someone else already wrote?
www.abc.com/the one/
to
www.abc/the%20one/
See: http://www.w3schools.com/tags/ref_urlencode.asp for the list of things that need to be encoded
There is an article on the Progress website, which Google found me with very little effort...

I want to decode a file that has the extension .pwi but I am not having any luck at all. It looks like white squares and other characters.. An example is down below. I really want to decode it, I have searched Google now for hours but still can't find the solution.. Decoding it to Hex, MD5 or whatever Google says I have to do doesn't work. I know that it's from my notes on my old Windows phone. But I don't have one anymore.
I have been developing an asp application. I want to use response.charset that uses "UTF-8". I try to encode a unicode string by using server.urlencode. It is showed like this "%e3%81%a4%e3%82%". I got a problem this. I don't know how to decode url. Please, help me
This may help you, there is a tutorial and a tool that can decode the encoded URLs you can check it out here
I have a wordpress installation that clients can edit, all characters display ok. On the main homepage I query the same database for the same title and post content, but it doesn't display correctly - just a question mark
I have tried sending the utf8 headers manually, through htaccess and through meta tags. I have used SET name UTF8 (which turns the characters into the diamond symbol with a questionmark inside).
I genuinely cant figure out what it could be now and I really need these characters to display correctly.
Heres the homepage, you can see in the Sounddhism 6 preview that there are lots of question marks, if you click on it you will see what they are meant to look like
http://nottingham.subverb.net
I have passed it through the validator and it gives me this error:
Sorry, I am unable to validate this document because on line 373 it contained one or more bytes that I cannot interpret as utf-8 (in other words, the bytes found are not valid values in the specified Character Encoding). Please check both the content of the file and the character encoding indication.
The error was: utf8 "\xA0" does not map to Unicode
Which, i appreciate is supposed to help me, but I don't know what to do about it. Especially since that line, the letter generating the error is supposed to be a space and is AFTER the offending question marks.
Can anyone help?
Compare the encoding of both the back-end scripts in Wordpress and also your homepage script. If you're using IE, right-click the page and check the encoding. Sometimes it's set to "Auto-detect" and IE will often detect a different encoding for different pages, causing strange issues like this.
If you're not using IE, try using a tool like Fiddler to see exactly what encoding (and what bytes are being sent back and forth both in the back-end and your homepage script.
If forcing UTF-8 on your homepage script doesn't work, I would guess that the back-end is not using UTF-8.
Hope You all are fine and also in one of your best of moods!!
Hope You all are Enjoying iPhone development.
I herewith one issue that i am not able to solve, may be i don't know the depth concept of iPhone.
So Its my humble requet to you to guide me or suggest or share your ideas.
I do find an issue with getting an image from Bytes array.
I am calling a webservice which returns an image in form of Bytes Array as response.
I have Converted this bytes array in to form of NSData, Now i have NSData, But When i Try to get an image from this NSData, It shows nil.
I Did lots of R&D and Find one suggestion to use base64 encoder, But unfortunately because of not proper guidance I was not able to Implement that.
I was also suggested to use OPenSSL Library for base64 from url http://www.cocoadev.com/index.pl?BaseSixtyFour
But again i was not able to include #include #include these two files. as in Newer Version of SDK 3.X family Apple has depreciated those (as i guess).
So Now i need help from you guys. kindly help me if you have solution or if you know the steps to solve these.
Looking Forwards.

Using OpenSSL on the iPhone seems like a very heavy-weight solution if all you need is Base64 encoding/decoding. Look at this post for how to use a category for NSData to add base64 encoding/decoding. You want the second section of this blog post as the first deals with OpenSSL :)
