Hello! I've been lurking around for a loooong time... and I decided to finally share a little. I do a lot of internet stuff, mostly machine to machine for work (instrumentation) so I have quite a few "RFC" scripts. Disclaimer these work for me... but I sometime use... "shortcuts" based on my particular requirement. An example, the Base64 encoding snippet might not be too good for binary data. I pad the original data with spaces to avoid the "==" padding of base64. So... first is the base64 encoding snippet. It is not in a function, it was in a sequential program, used only once! It encode $Graph to $SMTPMessage: ; Create the base64 encoding table Dim $Base64EncodingTable[0] For $Cpt = Asc("A") to Asc("Z") _ArrayAdd($Base64EncodingTable, Chr($Cpt)) Next For $Cpt = Asc("a") to Asc("z") _ArrayAdd($Base64EncodingTable, Chr($Cpt)) Next For $Cpt = Asc("0") to Asc("9") _ArrayAdd($Base64EncodingTable, Chr($Cpt)) Next _ArrayAdd($Base64EncodingTable, "+") _ArrayAdd($Base64EncodingTable, "/") ; Pad the SVG Graph to attach with space(s). Lazy way to avoid base64 == pading While Mod(StringLen($Graph), 3) <> 0 $Graph &= " " WEnd ; Start from the first character $Cpt = 1 Do ; Extract the 3 characters to encode $Char1 = Asc(StringMid($Graph, $Cpt, 1)) $Char2 = Asc(StringMid($Graph, $Cpt+1, 1)) $Char3 = Asc(StringMid($Graph, $Cpt+2, 1)) ; Encode them to 4 characters $SMTPMessage &= $Base64EncodingTable[BitShift(BitAND($Char1, 252), 2)] $SMTPMessage &= $Base64EncodingTable[BitShift(BitAND($Char1, 3), -4) + BitShift(BitAND($Char2, 240), 4)] $SMTPMessage &= $Base64EncodingTable[BitShift(BitAND($Char2, 15), -2) + BitShift(BitAND($Char3, 192), 6)] $SMTPMessage &= $Base64EncodingTable[BitAND($Char3, 63)] ; Increment the counter, and if required, add a @CRLF to split in multiples lines $Cpt += 3 If Mod($Cpt, 57) = 1 Then $SMTPMessage &= @CRLF ; Do this until all the graph has been encoded Until $Cpt >= StringLen($Graph) Second... I just finished this one and was allready thinking about sharing it... so it's been encapsulated into function a bit more. I use it to decode email subjects in a system where you can update something by email. I separated the Base64Decode function so it can be grabbed more easily. Please note that it return an hex string so you would still need to convert it if it's a string with BinaryToString or whatever suit your needs. If can be copied as is and runned directly... it include my test strings! (Yes... I'm french!) ; For the $SB_UTF8 and $SB_ANSI Variable #include <StringConstants.au3> ; For _ArrayAdd and _ArraySearch used in the Base64 decoder #include <Array.au3> ; Various test sentences... ;$text = "=?UTF-8?Q?Ce=c3=a7i_est_un_autre_test!_h=c3=a9h=c3=a9!?=" ; Normal UTF-8 ;$text = "=?UTF-8?Q?Encore_=3d_un_autre_test_=c3=a9_?=" ; "=" added ;$text = "=?UTF-8?Q?un_autre_test_=5f_=c3=a9?=" ; "_" added ;$text = "=?UTF-8?B?Q2XDp2kgZXN0IHVuIGF1dHJlIHRlc3QhID0gXyBow6low6kh?=" ; UTF-8 Base64 $text = "=?UTF-8?B?ZcOnaSBlc3QgdW4gYXV0cmUgdGVzdCEgPSBfIGjDqWjDqSE=?=" ; UTF-8 Base64 with padding ;$text = "=?iso-8859-1?Q?Ce=E7i_est_un_test!?=" ; iso-8859-1 MsgBox(0, "", DecodeHeader($text)) Func DecodeHeader($lString) ; Check and store encoding type If StringInStr($lString, "?Q?")

I may update it into a better format for you, like a standalone telnet program with GUI. It is my telnet options negociations loops. The basic concept is systematically deny all request for special options and keep it "raw". If server says "Will", I reply "Don't". If it says "Do", I reply "Wont"... unless it's the terminal type subnegociation, in which case I reply xterm! $Data for now needs to be Global. You still need to know what you're doing, opening sockets and making a basic communication loop or something.
