From your point of view as a user, yes it would seem like a natural fit. From our point of view as maintainers of a single-purpose library, it would
not make sense to extend our public API into general-purpose base64
encoding/decoding at this time.
I'm not asking to make it public, just to tweak that implementation detail it to make it more lenient :) Happy to discuss further if you'd like.
Well, what's to discuss after the above really? I'll just use something else. Thanks for the quick reply Richard. PS: I'm a fan of Richard Hipp's (of SQLite and Fossil fame) public domain C code in general, so I'm adapting https://sqlite.org/althttpd/file?ci=tip&name=althttpd.c&ln=845-889 instead.
