Melloware commented on CODEC-95:
--------------------------------
I think this is now fixed by https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CODEC-134
which no longer allows invalid Base64?
> Base64: optionally allow strict parsing of base64 strings

> 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 %^&"));
