Create Domino LTPA token on F5 problem

Hi,

it's a more general "problem" and related to the concatenation of strings, where the first string starts with \x00. 0x00 would be the terminator for a string in C. I'm not sure how TCL handles that. The strange thing is, that binary scan shows the correct value, while b64encode followed by a b64decode leads to the additional c080.

rule irule03a {
   when RULE_INIT {

 set hello "Hello World"

 log local0. "WITH leading \\x00"
 set prefix "\x00\x01\x02\x03"

 log local0. "WITHOUT leading \\x00"
 set prefix "\x01\x02\x03"

 set text "${prefix}${hello}"

 log local0. "WITHOUT concatenation"
 set text "\x00\x01\x02\x03HelloWorld"

 set text_enc [b64encode $text]
 set text_dec [b64decode $text_enc]
 binary scan $text H* text_hex
 binary scan $text_enc H* text_enc_hex
 binary scan $text_dec H* text_dec_hex

 log local0. "Text: $text"
 log local0. "Text hex: $text_hex"
 log local0. "Text encoded: $text_enc_hex"
 log local0. "Text decoded: $text_dec_hex"

}
}
