Could someone explain this por favor ?

[Mike Bonner]

If I understand correctly, the base64 encode will turn the data into
something like this:

TWFuIGlzIGRpc3Rpbmd1aXNoZWQsIG5vdCBvbmx5IGJ5IGhpcyByZWFzb24sIGJ1dCBieSB0aGlz
IHNpbmd1bGFyIHBhc3Npb24gZnJvbSBvdGhlciBhbmltYWxzLCB3aGljaCBpcyBhIGx1c3Qgb2Yg
dGhlIG1pbmQsIHRoYXQgYnkgYSBwZXJzZXZlcmFuY2Ugb2YgZGVsaWdodCBpbiB0aGUgY29udGlu
dWVkIGFuZCBpbmRlZmF0aWdhYmxlIGdlbmVyYXRpb24gb2Yga25vd2xlZGdlLCBleGNlZWRzIHRo
ZSBzaG9ydCB2ZWhlbWVuY2Ugb2YgYW55IGNhcm5hbCBwbGVhc3VyZS4=

At which point UrlEncode() would serve no purpose.

Having said that.. I'm not sure why urldecode is throwing an error. Even if
you pass it a straight unencoded text string, it should just.. do nothing
to it. (If there are no % signs, theres nothing to decode.. It might hork
something if there ARE % signs, but it shouldn't cause a crash)
Either way though, I think it should  be Either/Or.  Either url encode, OR
base64 encode.
