	* Convert binary data to and from UrlBase64 encoding.  This is identical to
	* Base64 encoding, except that the padding character is "." and the other 
	* non-alphanumeric characters are "-" and "_" instead of "+" and "/".
	* <p>
	* The purpose of UrlBase64 encoding is to provide a compact encoding of binary
	* data that is safe for use as an URL parameter. Base64 encoding does not
	* produce encoded values that are safe for use in URLs, since "/" can be 
	* interpreted as a path delimiter; "+" is the encoded form of a space; and
	* "=" is used to separate a name from the corresponding value in an URL 
	* parameter.
