Description: ------------ I'm calling using soapclient a SOAP server that uses Perl. It returns (amongst other things) values that are base64 encoded (and sets the type="SOAP-ENC:base64" attribute on the corresponding XML tag). The type gets propagated to the $soapvalue->type property, however, it is never decoded, and $soap_client->_parse returns the base64 encoded value, in the corresponding structure. The problem is the fact that in this structure, there is no way of knowing if I should further process it and apply base64_encode on the value or not. Also, sorry, the SOAP service is only available in local network. Reproduce code: --------------- Here is the patch (sorry, text, being on windows, not too confortable with patch/diff tools): in SOAP/Base.php, in the method _decode (line 835), replace: return $soapval->value; with if ($soapval->type == 'base64') { return base64_decode($soapval->value); } else { return $soapval->value; } Expected result: ---------------- This should correct the problem, and decode the string when it is needed.

Sorry, I spoke too soon, one more modification needed: Base.php, line 808: replace: if ($soapval->arrayType && $this->_isSoapValue($item)) { $item->type = $soapval->arrayType; } with: if ($soapval->arrayType && $this->_isSoapValue($item)) { if ($item->type == 'base64' && $soapval->arrayType != 'base64') { // must decode if we are losing the base64 information $item->value = base64_decode($item->value); } $item->type = $soapval->arrayType; }

Please provide a small example (or a link to one) of a full XML response using base64 encoding. Then I'll implement and test the fix and add a unit test for it.

Sorry, no file attachment permitted. Here is the result XML (search for "mission" to get to the base64 part) Let me know if you need more information, and thanks for your response. -------8<------- <?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>

This bug has been fixed in CVS. In case this was a documentation problem, the fix will show up at the end of next Sunday (CET) on pear.php.net. In case this was a pear.php.net website problem, the change will show up on the website in short time. Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PEAR better. ... or at least, it will be fixed in CVS once the CVS server is enabled again. Thanks for the test case.
