Re: iSCSI base64 and 12-92

[Paul Koning <ni1d@arrl.net>]

Let me rephrase what I'm looking for, because the picture seems to be
getting muddled.

I would like to see Base64 permitted ONLY for those parameters that
are long octetstrings.  Basically, that's only the crypto parameters.

For all other integer parameters -- which are 64 bit or smaller
integers -- permit only hex and decimal.

The reason is that these are different datatypes internally, so you
will be using different conversion routines.  Conversion from Base64
to int is an "unnatural act" and I would prefer not to have to
add that code.
