How do I encode a string to base64 using only boost?

Question

I\'m trying to quickly encode a simple ASCII string to base64 (Basic HTTP Authentication using boost::asio) and not paste in any new code code or use any libraries beyond bo

While the encoding works, the decoder is certainly broken. Also there is a bug opened: https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/5629. I have not found a fix for that.
