I don't really see the issue here. The computed digest bytestring is the
same regardless of the serialization format for sending it over the wire.
The problem seems to be with trying to send the Structured Fields Byte
Sequence type in a URL. There's doesn't seem any need to do that, instead
you can just send the base64 encoding of the computed digest without the
colons.
