Note that PHP uses the RFC 2045 base64 standard that allows whitespace and variable length, so if
your rewrites eat '+' characters, you end up with complete garbage due to the space being
compacted:

this isn't fixed by enabling strict mode (which should really just switch the whole thing into
RFC 3548 standards)
