Hi,
For 8006295 it appears the more reasonable approach is to continue throw IOE
but document this behavior clearly at the wrap(is) API. So the change is
joined
with these two.
8006295: Base64.Decoder.wrap(java.io.InputStream) returns InputStream
which throws unspecified IOException on attempt to decode invalid Base64
byte stream
