Code for decoding/encoding a modified base64 URL (in ASP.NET Framework)

by

Also check class HttpServerUtility with UrlTokenEncode and UrlTokenDecode methods that is handling URL safe Base64 encoding and decoding.

Note 1: The result is not a valid Base64 string. Some unsafe characters for URL are replaced.

Note 2: The result differs from the base64url algorithm in RFC4648, it replaces the ‘=’ padding with ‘0’, ‘1’ or ‘2’ depending on how many equal signs it replaced to make the value safe for a query parameter.

public static string Base64ForUrlEncode(string str)
{
    byte[] encbuff = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(str);
    return HttpServerUtility.UrlTokenEncode(encbuff);
}
