Decrypting AES256 with node.js returns wrong final block length

by

Ok, so there was a change to Crypto in the switch from 0.8 to 0.10 Crypto methods return Buffer objects by default, rather than binary-encoded strings

This means the above code needs to specify encodings.

These four lines:

decoded = decipher.update(encryptdata);
decoded += decipher.final();
encryptdata = encipher.update(cleardata);
encryptdata += encipher.final();

Are changed to:

decoded = decipher.update(encryptdata, 'binary', 'utf8');
decoded += decipher.final('utf8');
encryptdata = encipher.update(cleardata, 'utf8', 'binary');
encryptdata += encipher.final('binary');

This worked for me, but I am open to other suggestions.
