btpka3 commented on CODEC-140:
------------------------------

Should enhance Base64.isBase64(byte[]) to check (1) lengh%4==0 after remove whitespace (2) '=' can not occured in the middle ?

> 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.
