How to make Base64 string url safe

[Rasmus]

In a asp.net site i need to make a url link like this:
http://server.com/test.aspx?base64=c...jDq1fCrsOewrc=

I've used the Convert.ToBase64String() to make the querystring parameter

But as you can see the second char is a "+". When receiving the parameter in
the test.aspx page this + gets replaced with an empty space " ".
On test.aspx i receive the parameter like this:

string test = Request.QueryString["base64"];
I've read there two articeles without finding a super nice way of making a
base64 string url safe

Have you tried simply calling URLEncode on the value?

I did some quick tests and it seems to work.

<a id="x" runat="server">test</a>

x.HRef = string.Format("tmp2.aspx?x={0}",
HttpUtility.UrlEncode("c+KAnMOfxZLDqhd2w4DCtMOmwr8 hawkCdsK9YH7igqwITuKAmcOhXAcDxbjFoR3Cum/DqwFJRU7DpzbigJlYZD1cJcKBwqgaBsObw6VxMMW9wrTDpD7Cp STDkeKAuuKAlFfDt8W+Jz3CvhM7w5HCjeKAneKAuT3Dn8WTw5z igKErw6QFxaF+wrvDksOkwqjDq1fCrsOewrc="));
and then I echo out the querystring and all's good..
