Nevermind, though I'm not entirely sure this isn't a kind of bug. If you change the Encoding by adding two equal signs to the end "eyJ1c2VySWQiOiJiMDhmODZhZi0zNWRhLTQ4ZjItOGZhYi1jZWYzOTA0NjYwYmQifQ=="
It properly decodes to: {"userId":"b08f86af-35da-48f2-8fab-cef3904660bd"} Some online decoding sites don't have the same issue. Like this site does decode the original with the same outcome. https://www.base64decode.org/ Just a bit confusing. It seems like 4D should throw and error or something. dave On Fri, Jun 29, 2018 at 8:06 AM, Dave Nasralla <dnasra...@gmail.com> wrote: > Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong here.
