libcurl base64-encodes control data in a few places automatically when
required (e.g. for Basic authentication), but it won't encode data. If your
application requires base64-encoded data, it will need to be so encoded in the
app. And those two functions are not actually part of the libcurl API, so
they aren't even available for use in apps, anyway.
