Java – where can I find the base64encoder class?

Hi, I saw an example with this code on stackoverflow:

String encoding = Base64Encoder.encode ("test1:test1");
HttpPost httppost = new HttpPost("http://host:post/test/login");
httppost.setHeader("Authorization","Basic " + encoding);

System.out.println("executing request " + httppost.getRequestLine());
HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httppost);
httpentity entity = response.getEntity();

I have a similar task I try to use the same code, but I can't find the base64encoder class anywhere I use httpclient-4.1 2. Jar and httpcore-4.1 2.jar. Can someone help me with this?

Solution

I think you need to make commons codec use Base64 coding with httpclient This is a link Commons codec link
