encoding/base64 decode error: illegal base64 data at input byte

[Felix Sun]

Hi All

I have this program http://play.golang.org/p/e5_pnl4S8Y

Shows that If I removed all newlines in the string, It successfully
decode the base64 string, But If I I don't, It will gives "illegal
base64 data at input byte"

Is that supposed behavior?

I am pretty sure this is fixed at tip, http://tip.play.golang.org/p/e5_pnl4S8Y

followed your link, It still gives errors.

No matter how you get to the playground page, the execution engine is still using the most recent Go release (Go 1.0.3), not tip.

Also this still happens at tip. It does look like a bug. I filed golang.org/issue/4779.

Thanks.
