I'm trying to send a SHA256 hashed string over HTTP to a server, where I want to authenticate by performing a SHA256 hash and verifying the two match. For testing purposes I'm using the same string, however my results do not match up. Could this be something with default encoding schemes for my base64_encode calls? Thanks.
In PHP I'm doing:
$sha = hash("sha256", $url, true);
$sha = base64_encode(urlencode($sha));
And in Go I'm doing
//convert string to byte slice
converted := []byte(to_hash)
//hash the byte slice and return the resulting string
hasher := sha256.New()
hasher.Write(converted)
return (base64.URLEncoding.EncodeToString(hasher.Sum(nil)))
