| - | * The implementation converts from Base-64 to a string of bytes, and appends a null byte at the end. If the result has less than four bytes, garbage bytes from whatever the server's memory had in these places will result. | + | * The implementation converts from $art[Base64] to a string of bytes, and appends a null byte at the end.

| - | * The bytes in the binary form of the Base-64 string are always interpreted in big endian order (most-significant byte first). Extra nonzero trailing bits in the last Base64 digit are accepted and ignored. Incomplete bytes are not output, e.g. a string with one single character acts as an empty string. | + | * The bytes in the binary form of the $art[Base64] string are always interpreted in big endian order (most-significant byte first).
