Comment (by special):

 Replying to [comment:12 nickm]:
 >    * Suggestion: this code could use base64_encode_nopad() and
 base64_decode_nopad() to handle the padding-stripping part of the logic.

 This function strips 'A=' (not '==') because the auth type is encoded in
 the high bits of the last input byte. base64_*_nopad would leave the extra
 character on encode or lose those bits on decode.

 >   * I think the ddecode function needs to check the length of
 descriptor_cookie_tmp after decoding it?  The old code does that, right?

 Done

 >   * descriptor_cookie_tmp should probably be of type uint8_t, yeah?

 Technically yes, but these are being used as char everywhere, and that's
 what base64_decode expects the buffer to be.

 on the type of the new auth_clients argument to
 rend_service_add_ephemeral, and document that we take ownership of the
 reference.

 Done

 hard to add here, and would be good for ensuring that we got the code
 right.

 Done

 >

 server, with actual authorization types?)

 There isn't an "in the wild" user of this functionality yet; it's just
 speculative for Ricochet. I haven't found any problems in controlled
 testing.

 Fixups are on the top of my feature15588 branch.
