Description
I'm not sure that there's actually anything in the RFC about this, but base64 strings often have newlines at regular intervals (GitHub for example sends file contents as 60-char lines).

julia = "1"URIÄÄòser is a pretty interesting way to spell URIParser.
Plugging that same string into Python's base64.b64decode works as expected.
Applying replace(s, r"\s" => "") before decoding works, but it shouldn't be necessary and probably performs less than optimally.
