RCR 205: Put base64.rb methods under their own module
Submitted by djberg96 (Sat Oct 30 10:43:04 UTC 2004)
Abstract
The base64.rb methods should be wrapped in their own module.
Problem
The base64.rb file is used like a header file. This can cause potential function/method name collision. It is also un-Ruby like.
Proposal
Wrap these methods under a Base64 module.
Analysis
RCR 3120 (which was accepted and implemented) did the same thing for the timeout.rb methods.
Implementation
module Base64 ... end
I believe backwards compatability can be maintained the same way it was with timeout.rb.
