Julius Davies commented on CODEC-94:
------------------------------------
This is not a dup of CODEC-89. Notice this line in Lorenzo's original example:
Base64 b64 = new Base64(64);
That '64' is a request for chunked output (in 64 character lines). The user is
complaining that output with less than 64 characters should not end in CRLF,
but as I showed in my Dec 3rd 2009 comment appending a final CRLF in chunked
mode is the original commons-codec-1.3.jar behaviour.
Since commons-codec-1.3.jar has been appending a final CRLF in chunked mode for
almost six years without anyone complaining (until now), I think we should
leave it this way. Users should run the output through String.trim() if they
don't like this.
> unexpected CRLF at end of base64 encoded string
> -----------------------------------------------
>
> Key: CODEC-94
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CODEC-94
> Project: Commons Codec
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 1.4
> Environment: java 1.6u17
> ubuntu linux 9.10
> Reporter: Lorenzo Ingrillì
>
> Sometimes, a base64 encoded string ends inappropriately with \r\n characters.
> In the example below, i used value 64 as line lenght and the generated base64
> string lenght was 44; nevertheless string ends with CRLF .
> (i think, this bug is not related to bug #CODEC-89)
> How to reproduce:
> {code:title=Test.java|borderStyle=solid}
> public class Test {
> public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception {
> byte[] input = new byte[] {
> 25, 109, -39, -23, 82, -47, -88, 115,
> -34, 126, -57, 16, -110, -110, 60, -7,
> -123, -3, 60, 91, 112, -93, -67, -65, -71,
> -107, 123, -15, -106, 86, -80, 79
> };
> Base64 b64 = new Base64(64);
> String output = new String(b64.encode(input));
> System.out.println("*"+output+"*");
> }
> }
> {code}
> the output was: GW3Z6VLRqHPefscQkpI8+YX9PFtwo72/uZV78ZZWsE8=\r\n
