Base64 vs Base64URL — Key Differences

Base64 vs Base64URL explained. Characters, padding, when to use each (JWT, OAuth, URLs). RFC 4648 §4 vs §5.

वेब URLs में मानक Base64 क्यों टूटता है

Standard Base64 (RFC 4648 §4) uses the 64-character alphabet A-Z, a-z, 0-9, +, /, with = used as trailing byte padding.

However, when standard Base64 strings are passed in HTTP query parameters, URI path segments, or web cookies:

  • The plus sign + is automatically interpreted by web servers as a space character (%20), corrupting the payload.
  • The forward slash / is interpreted by web routers as a path delimiter, altering URL routing logic.
  • The equals sign = is used as a key-value parameter separator in query strings.
