Subject: RE: [saml-dev] SAML artifact source id config.
Hi Emily, I think you mean the whole artifact will be transferred after a Base64 encoding process. The spec editor Prateek Mishra, the spec didn't suggest the restriction on this, but this flexibility is right a reason of this discussion.

Hi Fred, I remember somewhere in the spec it recommends the use of Base64 encoding for sourceID. I vote for use the Base64 encoding.
