= XMLRPC::Base64
== Description
This class is necessary for (('xmlrpc4r')) to determine that a string should
be transmitted base64-encoded and not as a raw-string.
You can use (({XMLRPC::Base64})) on the client and server-side as a
parameter and/or return-value.

== Class Methods
--- XMLRPC::Base64.new( str, state = :dec )
    Creates a new (({XMLRPC::Base64})) instance with string ((|str|)) as the
    internal string. When ((|state|)) is (({:dec})) it assumes that the
    string ((|str|)) is not in base64 format (perhaps already decoded),
    otherwise if ((|state|)) is (({:enc})) it decodes ((|str|))
    and stores it as the internal string.

--- XMLRPC::Base64.decode( str )
    Decodes string ((|str|)) with base64 and returns that value.

--- XMLRPC::Base64.encode( str )
    Encodes string ((|str|)) with base64 and returns that value.

== Instance Methods
--- XMLRPC::Base64#decoded
    Returns the internal string decoded.

--- XMLRPC::Base64#encoded
    Returns the internal string encoded with base64.
