==Changes prior to promoting to full task==
We should use some different, shorter test data. Right now, there are two problems:
# the output is really too long to include on the page, and
# there's no guarantee that the icon will stay the same.
Using a short piece of sample text would make it much more practical to include the output with the solution, so allowing everyone to trivially check their implementation. Once that's sorted out, there's no reason we shouldn't promote to a full task as there are plenty of implementations. –[[User:Dkf|Donal Fellows]] ([[User talk:Dkf|talk]]) 15:58, 11 May 2014 (UTC)

::: But the thing is that the current task requires downloading of a file from the Web, which is conceptually separate from base-64. And downloading from the Web may be a very complicated task or it may not be supported by standard libraries in some languages, so I don't think it should be included. --[[User:Spoon!|Spoon!]] ([[User talk:Spoon!|talk]]) 20:36, 29 August 2013 (UTC)
 
The Base64 for the image file seems to have changed (at least it's different than what's above. Can anyone verify this? --[[User:Spoon!|Spoon!]] ([[User talk:Spoon!|talk]]) 00:13, 9 September 2013 (UTC)
