Base64 decode in C# or Java

Question

I have a Base64-encoded object with the following header:

application/x-xfdl;content-encoding=\"asc-gzip\"

What is the best way to proceed

Answer 1

For java, have you tried java's built in java.util.zip package? Alternately, Apache Commons has the Commons Compress library to work with zip, tar and other compressed file types. As to decoding Base 64, there are several open source libraries, or you can use Sun's sun.misc.BASE64Decoder class.
