//  q3fmgEqjqa9o%2F%2FZS6aPuh4Wtbrrxx%2FWOIQSKeVnesZg%3D

// -------------------------------------------------------------------
// Now let's do the reverse...
// 

// We start with a string that is the binary encrypted data, base64 encoded, and then URL encoded.

// We'll use the same crypt object.  If using a new instance of the crypt object,
// make sure *all* settings are identical:  the algorithm, cipher mode, key length, charset, encoding mode, IV, and secret key.

// Decode from URL...
loCrypt.CryptAlgorithm = "none"
loCrypt.EncodingMode = "url"
