XMPP SASL authenfication

I want to implement a simple authentication in C++. For now I can initiate a stream, get supported mechanisms and chose one. It works fine, but now I can't read out (from http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0034.html#sect-id259287 ) what I have to write into the plaintext handshake. Decoding the string I get "robsecret". So how do I do it with username "user" and passsword "pass"?
PS: Response using "userpass" is "". Thanks!

You do of course realize that this is a retracted XEP you are trying to find information in? The relevant documents are RFC 6120 (XMPP Core) and RFC 4616 (SASL PLAIN). Short version: PLAIN requires you to send base64("authzid\0authcid\0password"), where authzid is usually empty and authcid is your username.
