 PPS: Here is a summary why using Base32 or Base64 encoding in HTTP-style requests/headers. ------ snip ------ From http://groups.yahoo.com/group/the_gdf/message/2442: - We could choose any encoding, but... - Base32 is useful for compatibility with URLs and domain names, so... - We might as well use it in protocol-fields, saving extra conversions and developer inconvenience. ------ snap ------ Which sounds logical... BUT.... at least we could also use Base64 after having a '?' in the location/URN. A HTTP GET could look like this: Definition: GET /get/hash?[URN] HTTP/1.0 Base32: GET /get/hash?sha1:BCMD5DIPKJJTG2GHI2AZ9HG7HZUN5ZPH HTTP/1.0 Base64: GET /get/hash?sha1:/9n6YmKqNRmcLIiKC+2xRccm68 HTTP/1.0 Right now I prefer Base64 for HTTP encoding (it's smaller then Base32), binary encoding inside binary Gnutella binary messages and a smaller hash than SHA1.
