Subject: Help with Sha + Base64 for WSSE encoding.

Hello there.

   I've got a numbers puzzle for someone out there.

   I'm currently trying to implement X-WSSE authentication, which 
basically means you follow these steps to create a PasswordDigest:

1. Create a random Nonce(or string)
2. create the token by doing Base64(sha(nonce + timestamp + password)

Use this string to autenticate.  Basically.  Now here's my problem.

I have an example to work from:

Nonce = 
MjAwNi0wMi0yM1QxODo1NjozMVogNDdjYzM5NTVlZmY1NzljZGIwMzVkNTljZjI4ZWU3NzE3Y2Y4NmM5Zg==
Timestamp = 2006-02-23T18:56:31Z
password = test

I know the result is supposed to be:
267V1V5JW5xqct0bOAoFEaSDL7Y=  (since this works)

But when I use ruby for this:

nonce = 
"MjAwNi0wMi0yM1QxODo1NjozMVogNDdjYzM5NTVlZmY1NzljZGIwMzVkNTljZjI4ZWU3NzE3Y2Y4NmM5Zg=="
time = "2006-02-23T18:56:31Z"
password = "test"
puts Base64.encode64(Digest::SHA1.hexdigest(nonce + time + 
password)).strip

I get:
MzI2OTQ4YzY4OWQ3MGMxYzMzYTEwZWI2Yzg5MzZiYzMzZGE2ZTJhMg==


     Can anyone see the step I'm missing?

     Thanks,

Gregg Pollack
