title: Why does the Apache Commons Base32 decoding return any empty array here?
body: <p>This is probably a simple answer but I can't seem to figure it out.  I am trying to decode Base32 sections of a message but not getting the results I am expecting from the Apache Commons decoder.</p>
  
  <pre><code>base32 = new Base32(true);
  byte[] value = base32.decode(new String("F=======").getBytes());
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>value is an empty array</p>
