                 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/NETTY-94
             Project: Netty
          Issue Type: Feature Request
          Components: Handler
            Reporter: Trustin Lee
            Assignee: Trustin Lee
             Fix For: 3.1.0.ALPHA3

Base64 encoding is everywhere and supporting it would be useful in many cases especially when you have to deal with binary data in a text protocol.

We could add Netty codec for Base64 encoding that converts base64 encoded String or ChannelBuffer into ChannelBuffer and vice versa, just like string codec we currently have.  Core encoding / decoding code with liberal licensing policy is found here:
