HTTPTunnelUtils.pm ... encode_base64 (or the calls) is suspicious.

I wasn't able to do a binary transport. Wireshark and vbindiff have shown me that there are two 0x0's encoded at the end of the "chunk".

I was able to fix the function. However, I prefer calling encode_base64 from MIME:Base64, so I changed the calls mimic its behaviour.

Now when MIME:Base64 is present, it is used. Otherwise we fall back to "our" functions.

Patch is included.
