- * The encoding parameter specifies whether the data is base64 or URL
+ * The {@code encoding} parameter specifies whether the data is base64 or URL
* encoded. If the data is base64 encoded, the value of the encoding
- * parameter must be 'base64'. For all other values of the parameter,
- * including {@code null}, it is assumed that the data uses ASCII encoding for
- * octets inside the range of safe URL characters and use the standard %xx
- * hex encoding of URLs for octets outside that range. For example, '#',
- * '%', '\', '?' should be replaced by %23, %25, %27, %3f respectively.
