bug#15285: url-data not working for base64-encoded data |

In GNU Emacs 24.3.1 (i386-mingw-nt6.1.7601),
evaluating
(require 'mm-decode)
(require 'url)
(mm-display-part
(with-current-buffer
(url-retrieve-synchronously
"data:image/x-portable-bitmap;base64,UDQKMTQgMTAK//zgHJAkiESHhItEkCSgFMAM//w=")
(mm-dissect-buffer t)))
should insert a letter image into the current buffer, but this does not work.
The cause is that in the function url-data (defined in url-misc.el)
the handling of the base64 parameter moves the match end and so the
starting "," character gets into the data, making them invalid.
Furthermore, instead of inserting the header "Content-Encoding" (that
should be used for encodings like "gzip") the code should insert the
header "Content-Transfer-Encoding" (the correct one for "8bit" or "base64").
