Forgive me for a very simple question: RFC3080 says at "2.3.1.2 The Start Message" that: "the content of the "profile" element, if present, must be no longer than 4K octets in length". The question is: If the content of the profile element is encoded (Base64), then does the length restriction apply to the encoded form of the content or to the result after decoding? i.e. if encoding causes the size of the data to grow, does that matter? bob wyman
