How to get base64-encoded token

[chr1shung]

From the sample code:

...

b, err := builder.Build()
if err != nil {
    panic(fmt.Errorf("failed to build biscuit: %v", err))
}
token, err := b.Serialize()
if err != nil {
    panic(fmt.Errorf("failed to serialize biscuit: %v", err))
}

I tried

fmt.Println(string(token))

and

fmt.Println(base64.StdEncoding.EncodeToString(token))

Both output are not accepted by the online token-inspector tool

How do I transform token to a base64-encoded string so that I can share with other easily ?
Thanks for the help

Instead of base64.StdEncoding, use base64.URLEncoding which should make the final command look like

fmt.Println(base64.URLEncoding.EncodeToString(token))

This made it work

yes, we generally use URL safe base64 encoding. I'm opening biscuit-auth/biscuit#128 to emphasize it
