ub64dec and ub64enc are the base64url equivalent of b64dec and base64
converters. base64url encoding is the "URL and Filename Safe Alphabet"
variant of base64 encoding. It is also used in in JWT (JSON Web Token)
standard.
RFC1421 mention in base64.c file is deprecated so it was replaced with
RFC4648 to which existing converters, base64/b64dec, still apply.
Example:
HAProxy:
http-request return content-type text/plain lf-string %[req.hdr(Authorization),word(2,.),ub64dec]
Client:
Token=eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJ1c2VyIjoiZm9vIiwia2V5IjoiY2hhZTZBaFhhaTZlIn0.5VsVj7mdxVvo1wP5c0dVHnr-S_khnIdFkThqvwukmdg
$ curl -H "Authorization: Bearer ${TOKEN}" http://haproxy.local
{"user":"foo","key":"chae6AhXai6e"}
Directly including stddef.h in many files results in it being processed
multiple times while it can be centralized in api-t.h and be guarded
against multiple inclusions. Doing so reduces the number of preprocessed
lines by 1200!
The files are now stored under :
- include/haproxy for the generic includes
- include/types.h for the structures needed within prototypes
- include/proto.h for function prototypes and inline functions
- src/*.c for the C files
Most include files are now covered by LGPL. A last move still needs
to be done to put inline functions under GPL and not LGPL.
Version has been set to 1.3.0 in the code but some control still
needs to be done before releasing.
