Base64: optionally allow strict parsing of base64 strings
---------------------------------------------------------
Key: CODEC-95
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CODEC-95
Project: Commons Codec
Issue Type: Improvement
Affects Versions: 1.4
Reporter: Adam Rabung
Priority: Minor
Attachments: strictMode.zip
Currently, Codec skips base64 characters that are outside of the encode table.
I realize this is perfectly to spec, but I wonder if other users might
appreciate a "strict" mode that throws an exception when one of these illegal
characters are encountered. For example, I would love an exception to be
thrown here:
new Base64().decode("!...@#$ iHaveIllegalCharsAtBeginningAndEnd %^&"));
