[issue1466065] base64 module ignores non-alphabet characters

[Neil Tallim]

Neil Tallim <red.hamsterx at gmail.com> added the comment:

I agree that it does look like RFC 3548 implicitly denies the use of \r and \n. A few *very* simple tests also makes it look like ommitting them breaks nothing, but we'd need to add a test that includes them before applying the patch.

Other than that, I agree with everything and find the email6 notes intruiging.

Would you like me to update the patch, or do you want to do it?
