Also in administration part when you search in grid in some column some value you can see that Magento is using base64 to encode your filter(s). This is just one example where you can use base64. What do you think why doesn’t Magento use normal strings in URL instead of base64 which is around 33% longer? Hint: you’ll get this later in the article…Īs you can see we can’t put char “/” in URL if we want to send last visited URL as parameter because we would break attribute/value rule for “MOD rewrite” – GET parameter.Ī full example would be: “” – sure it’s wrong. In our case uenc = url encoded = aHR0cDovL2xvYy5tYWdlbnRvLmNvbS9hc2ljcy1tZW4tcy1nZWwta2F5YW5vLXhpaS5odG1s =. This is to ensure that the data remains intact without modification during transport”. If you don’t know what does it mean (encoded chars) and how they are generated – keep reading.Īdditionally, if you have any useful example where did you use base64 encode/decode, feel free to share your ideas with others.įrom wiki: “Base64 encoding schemes are commonly used when there is a need to encode binary data that needs be stored and transferred over media that are designed to deal with textual data. These chars “aHR0cDovL2xvYy5tYWdlbnRvLmNvbS9hc2ljcy1tZW4tcy1nZWwta2F5YW5vLXhpaS5odG1s” are base64 encoded strings and POST data you can see (HTTP header traffic) with Firebug, LiveHTTPHeaders (addon for FF), Charles proxy,… Magento will redirect you to something like this: “…93/” with some POST data (product=93&related_product=&super_attribute=37&qty=2). This basically means that all kind of characters (ASCII, UTF8, UTF16…) with control characters can be mapped for example in English alphabet a-z, A-Z, 0-9 and you would be able to read them all on screen, or even print them out.įirst of all, Magento is using base64 encode/decode each time you want to add product in your cart. ![]() What is base64 encoding/decoding and how we can benefit from this representationīase64 schemes represent binary data in an ASCII string format (English alphabet, common punctuation chars, control chars) by translating it into a base-64 representation.
