[NSData MIH_dataByBase64DecodingString:] not decoding valid base64 strings

[akhilstanis]

[NSData MIH_dataByBase64DecodingString:] is behaving weird. Below code will return nil while it is a valid base64 encoded string

NSString *derString = @"MIIBVQIBADANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQEFAASCAT8wggE7AgEAAkEAmZruJYeMsKl6IceG\n"
                      "TB/8gZW0m+sdVb8X617zeEHzliIK4A6q9obsizLh1hvAFkqS4ir3H4VVn7pKuxpF\n"
                      "C5oVKQIDAQABAkApWzJVPmqdwfOVFrBM3KvSg+kNtb6/MGUTRQxOS4t21ybGi2Rn\n"

                      "Zg54vniNK3Yv";
NSData *der = [NSData MIH_dataByBase64DecodingString:derString];

while below code decodes it correctly

NSData *der = [[NSData alloc] initWithBase64EncodedString:derString options:NSDataBase64DecodingIgnoreUnknownCharacters];

Drilling down the code, I found out that you have used 0 for NSDataBase64DecodingOptions. And for me to get it working I had to use options:NSDataBase64DecodingIgnoreUnknownCharacters. Did you use 0 beacuse of any particular reason or is it a bug?

I'm sorry, but I can't tell you anymore why I don't used NSDataBase64DecodingIgnoreUnknownCharacters. I'll think about changing it in the next release if I won't find the reason why I used 0.
