<h2 id=code>Code</h2>
<p>
The <tt>code.lua</tt> module offers routines to convert back and forth
some common types of content encoding, including Base 64 and URL
escaping. Base 64 is described in
<a href="http://www.cs.princeton.edu/~diego/rfc/rfc2045.txt">RFC
2045</a>,
URL escaping is described in
<a href="http://www.cs.princeton.edu/~diego/rfc/rfc2396.txt">RFC
2396</a>.
</p>
<!-- base64 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ -->
<p class=name id="base64">
socket.code.<b>base64(</b>content, single<b>)</b>
</p>
<p class=description>
Applies the Base 64 content coding to a string.
</p>
<p class=parameters>
<tt>Content</tt> is the string to be encoded.
If <tt>single</tt> is set to anything
but <tt>nil</tt>, the output is returned as a single
line, otherwise the function splits the content into 76 character long
lines after encoding.
</p>
<p class=result>
The function returns the encoded string.
</p>
<pre class=example>
code = socket.code.base64("diego:password")
-- code = "ZGllZ286cGFzc3dvcmQ="
</pre>
<!-- unbase64 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ -->
<p class=name id="unbase64">
socket.code.<b>unbase64(</b>content<b>)</b>
</p>
<p class=description>
Removes the Base 64 content coding from a string.
</p>
<p class=parameters>
<tt>Content</tt> is the string to be decoded.
</p>
<p class=result>
The function returns the decoded string.
</p>
<!-- escape +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ -->
<p class=name id="escape">
socket.code.<b>escape(</b>content<b>)</b>
</p>
<p class=description>
Applies the URL escaping content coding to a string
Each byte is encoded as a percent character followed
by the two byte hexadecimal representation of its integer
value.
</p>
<p class=parameters>
<tt>Content</tt> is the string to be encoded.
</p>
<p class=result>
The function returns the encoded string.
</p>
<pre class=example>
code = socket.code.escape("/#?;")
-- code = "%2f%23%3f%3b"
</pre>
<!-- unescape +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ -->
<p class=name id="unescape">
socket.code.<b>unescape(</b>content<b>)</b>
</p>
<p class=description>
Removes the URL escaping content coding from a string.
</p>
<p class=parameters>
<tt>Content</tt> is the string to be decoded.
</p>
<p class=return>
The function returns the decoded string.

<p class=name id="hexa">
socket.code.<b>hexa(</b>content<b>)</b>
</p>
<p class=description>
Applies the hexadecimal content coding to a string.
Each byte is encoded as the byte hexadecimal
representation of its integer value. <p>
</p>
<p class=parameters>
<tt>Content</tt> is the string to be encoded.
</p>
<p class=return>
The function returns the encoded string.
</p>
<pre class=example>
code = socket.code.hexa("\16\32\255")
-- code = "1020ff"
</pre>
<!-- unhexa +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ -->
<p class=name id="unhexa">
