  // to do some manual handling here to get a proper Base64 string.
  //
  // - Use case: Current web replaced plus sign with hyphens when generating RefIds.
  //   Handling: We replace hyphens with plus signs.
  //
  // - Use case: Incoming links in the wild do not encode the RefId properly.
  //   Handling: We replace spaces with plus signs. Effectively, reversing the
  //   decoding of plus signs into spaces that Next.js does for us for incoming
  //   search params.
  //   Slash and equal sign are not decoded into anything, so no action needed.
  //   We only need to cater for those three (plus, slash, equals) as RefId is
  //   Base64 encoded which only has these three special characters.
