Julius Davies updated CODEC-91:
-------------------------------
Attachment: (was: codec-91.patch)
> Handling of embedded padding in base64 encoded data changed in 1.4
> ------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: CODEC-91
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CODEC-91
> Project: Commons Codec
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 1.4
> Reporter: Chris Pimlott
>
> 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());
