Most webs use safe url base64 encode/decode to escape the special characters. For special characters, there are functions called encodeURIComponent()/decodeURIComponent() which are designed to do this. (See: http://www.w3schools.com/jsref/jsref_encodeURIComponent.asp , http://www.w3schools.com/jsref/jsref_decodeuricomponent.asp)

For binary data (e.g. images), especially transferred between back-end and front-end through AJAX, Base64 is the choice.

base64 encode/decode is similar to base64 safe url encode/decode.

The difference is the alphabet. The base64 safe url alphabet uses '-' instead of '+' and '_' instead of '/'.

after this patch: In backend, we can encode an url:

...

...

...

base64.urlsafe_b64encode("/vnc_auto.html?port=64667&path=?token=opensuse12&encrypt=1") 'L3ZuY19hdXRvLmh0bWw_cG9ydD02NDY2NyZwYXRoPT90b2tlbj1vcGVuc3VzZTEyJmVuY3J5cHQ9MQ==' and in UI, we can decode it: kimchi.urlSafeB64Decode("L3ZuY19hdXRvLmh0bWw_cG9ydD02NDY2NyZwYXRoPT90b2tlbj1vcGVuc3VzZTEyJmVuY3J5cHQ9MQ==") "/vnc_auto.html?port=64667&path=?token=opensuse12&encrypt=1"

or

In UI, we can encode an url: kimchi.urlSafeB64Encode("/vnc_auto.html?port=64667&path=?token=opensuse12&encrypt=1") "L3ZuY19hdXRvLmh0bWw_cG9ydD02NDY2NyZwYXRoPT90b2tlbj1vcGVuc3VzZTEyJmVuY3J5cHQ9MQ==" and in backend, we can decode it:

Safe url base64 is a variant of base64. More info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base64#Implementations_and_history
