Julius Davies updated CODEC-91:
-------------------------------
Attachment: codec-91-actually-works-and-tests-yay.patch
This is a much better patch - it actually works. And to respond to Sebb, I
think we should bring back the original 1.3 behaviour as the default behaviour.
We can later consider allowing alternative behaviour via flags or config or
some other mechanism.
> Handling of embedded padding in base64 encoded data changed in 1.4

> Issue Type: Bug

>
> 1.4 changed the way that embedded padding characters (i.e. "=") were handled
> when decoding base64 data. Previously, the decoder ignored them and decoded
> all the data. Now it stops upon encountering the first padding byte. This
> breaks compatibility with previous versions.
> For example, in 1.4,
> b64.decode("Y29tbW9ucwo=".getBytes());
> gives the same result as
> b64.decode("Y29tbW9ucwo=Y29tbW9ucwo=".getBytes());
