>                 Key: CODEC-68
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CODEC-68
>             Project: Commons Codec
>          Issue Type: Bug
>    Affects Versions: 1.3
>            Reporter: Robert Rodewald
>             Fix For: 1.4
>
>   Original Estimate: 0.25h
>  Remaining Estimate: 0.25h

> the following code throws an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException although it is perfectly valid (the byte 0x9c should be ignored according to the standard):
> {code}
> byte[x] = new byte[] { 'n', 'A', '=', '=', 0x9c };
> Base64.decodeBase64(x);
> {code}
> The problem is the following method:
> {code}
>     private static boolean isBase64(byte octect) {
>         if (octect == PAD) {
>             return true;
>         } else if (base64Alphabet[octect] == -1) {
>             return false;
>         } else {
>             return true;
>         }
>     }
> {code}
> in Java octect is a *signed* value, so it is not correct to use it as an offset for an array [0..254] which base64Alphabet is. 0x9c is -100!
> FIX:
> use base64Alphabet[ 0xff & octect ] in the "else if" block to convert the octet prior using it as an offset for the lookup table
