Description
Encode a base64 URL string.Please check what text encoding you want to use. Especially what the software processing the base64 string expects.
Similar to normal Base64, but + replaced by - and / by _ and the = on the end are omitted.
Examples
Encode Base64 as UTF-8:
MBS( "Text.EncodeToBase64URL"; "Hello World"; "utf8" )
Example result: "SGVsbG8gV29ybGQ"
Encode with/without URL option:
MBS( "Text.EncodeToBase64URL"; "Hello World? öäü"; "UTF-8" ) & ¶ &
MBS( "Text.EncodeToBase64"; "Hello World? öäü"; "UTF-8" )
Calculate a JSON Web Token (JWT) in FileMaker:
Let ( [
secret = "secretkey";
header = JWT RS256::Header;
payload = JWT RS256::Payload;
encodedString = MBS( "Text.EncodeToBase64URL"; header; "UTF-8" ) & "." & MBS( "Text.EncodeToBase64URL"; payload; "UTF-8" );
// calculate hash
hash = MBS( "RSA.Sign"; "SHA256";
"Text"; encodedString; "UTF-8";
"Text"; JWT RS256::Key; "UTF-8";
"text"; JWT RS256::Password; "UTF-8";
"base64url"; "");
// and built final result:
result = encodedString & "." & hash
]; result )
