Adam Rabung commented on CODEC-95:
----------------------------------

Doh, my patch should have been 1.5 compatible (not chaining IOException), and DefaultIllegalEncodingCharacterPolicy should allow ASCII 13 and 10.

> 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 %^&"));
