Hi,
I created CODEC-75 (url-safe Base64) and attached a 20KB patch to the
ticket. Anyone interested in committing this?
The patch improves codec's base64 handling in two ways:
1. Ability to decode base64 streams which are missing the final
padding characters.
That changes the behaviour; there may be some applications that rely
on detecting invalid Base64 data.
IMO this new behaviour needs to be optional.

2. Introduces "Base64.encodeBase64URLSafe()" method.
It appears (very cursory look-see on my part) that URL-Safe is part
of
the reason Hadoop went elsewhere for its Base64:
