Bugfix/1619/zos mvs raw base64 mode

Open ketankelkar opened this issue 5 months ago • 2 comments

SUMMARY

The base64 sub-option for return_content does not base64 encode anything. Rather, it 'cat's the dd_output to stdout without making a call to iconv and returns that to the caller. Note: This behavior caused deprecation warnings due to non-utf8 chars being present in stdout.

It may be advantageous for some users to have the ability to base64 encode the contents of some DD and bring it off platform without facing any encoding or auto-conversion issues. Certificates comes to mind as a use case.
