The function ecx:md5base64 hashes a value with the message-digest algorithm 5. For more information, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MD5.

The binary output is produced as a string that is encoded in Base64. For more information, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base64.

Strings that are encoded in Base64 cannot be used directly in link addresses. Either apply URL encoding to the resulting string or use the function ecx:md5hex instead. For more information, see  ecx:md5hex​
