Encoded list in Base64 or Base64Url? #58

Closed amondit closed 9 months ago

amondit commented 1 year ago

Hello,

The spec mentions that the status list must be distributed as gzip'd bitstream in base64 (section 2.2). However the example contains a - character which is only supported in Base64Url (regular decoding in base64 of this example fails). Could you clarify whether we should use base64url encoding, or fix the example in the draft documentation?

Best regards, Arnaud

base64url, to align with the rest of jose tool chain for securing JSON.
