Javascript / Base64 encoding

Marci

Afternoon folks. I have a patch with a few TCP actors that need to send http headers, and part of the header is auth:basic.

I can grab the username and password via User Input actors / Text Input controls, and can concatenate it into username:password, but it then needs base64 encoding.

I'm using trigger text actor which is firing fred:west in as input1 to the javascript actor.

It's outputting -,+(0( for everything, so I'm assuming something is tripping it up - . How does one log to the javascript monitor?

The Javascript is running thus:

function main()

var b64 = 'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789+/=';

var o1, o2, o3, h1, h2, h3, h4, bits, i = 0,

ac = 0,

enc = '',

tmp_arr = [];

var data = arguments[0];

if (!data) {

return data;

}

do { // pack three octets into four hexets

o1 = data.charCodeAt(i++);

o2 = data.charCodeAt(i++);

o3 = data.charCodeAt(i++);

bits = o1 << 16 | o2 << 8 | o3;

h1 = bits >> 18 & 0x3f;

h2 = bits >> 12 & 0x3f;

h3 = bits >> 6 & 0x3f;

h4 = bits & 0x3f;

// use hexets to index into b64, and append result to encoded string

tmp_arr[ac++] = b64.charAt(h1) + b64.charAt(h2) + b64.charAt(h3) + b64.charAt(h4);

} while (i < data.length);

enc = tmp_arr.join('');

var r = data.length % 3;

return (r ? enc.slice(0, r - 3) : enc) + '==='.slice(r || 3);

}

Nevermind... needed to plug the output to a text type actor to set the mutable type for the JS actor. Sorted!

glad you got it.
