Julius Davies commented on CODEC-140:
-------------------------------------
I don't think it's a bug. The javadoc on isBase64() makes it clear that
"Hello" should return true:
"Tests a given String to see if it contains only valid characters within the
Base64 alphabet. Currently the method treats whitespace as valid."
http://commons.apache.org/codec/apidocs/org/apache/commons/codec/binary/Base64.html#isBase64%28java.lang.String%29
> isBase64 returns true for any UTF8 string

> I just called Base64.isBase64("Hello") for instance and it returns true. I
> thought it would return true only if it is valid base64 encoded string.
