[En-Nut-Discussion] Different passwords with CGI

[Damian Slee]

there was a base64 decode fix I submitted about a month ago, which is in CVS now.  dencode.c
 
when password is decoded from what browser sent (which is in base64), it was failing on certain length passwords.  this may have been the real reason why you had "authorization failure if the length of ("user:password") is not a multiple of 3"

	Hi, 
	
	I mailed that problem (and a correction) half a year ago (think it was
	Nut/OS 3.1). There is a problem in the authorization code that produces
	a wrong number of padding bytes in some cases. This leads to an
	authorization failure if the length of ("user:password") is not a multiple
	of 3. Thus "root:root" works, but "root1:root1" does not.
	
	Kind regards, Adrian
	
	Thus a quick workaround would be to use an extended username or password,
	For example "ho:ho1"

	Is there a way to do what I try to do here:
	
	    NutRegisterAuth("cgi-bin/page1.cgi", "xyzzy:xyzzy");
	    NutRegisterAuth("cgi-bin/page2.cgi", "ho:ho");
	
	Best regards,
	Lars H. Andersson
