I am trying uploading an image with this javascript code:

var reader  = new FileReader();
reader.onloadend = function() {
  var bytes = window.btoa(reader.result);
  var ext = file.name.split(".").pop();
  xhr.send("bytes="+bytes+"&type="+ext);
}
reader.readAsBinaryString(file);

where bytes is passed to this java code on the server side:

public Integer upload(String bytes, String type) throws IOException {
    byte[] bytes_final = Base64.getDecoder().decode(bytes.split(",")[1]);
    BufferedImage src = ImageIO.read(new ByteArrayInputStream(bytes_final));
    ...
}

but I am getting the error:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Illegal base64 character 20

anyone can give me a hint of what's wrong here?

ps.:

complete javascript function:

function image_upload() {
  var file_input = this;
  var name = file_input.getAttribute("id");
  var url = file_input.dataset.url;

  for(var i = 0; i<this.files.length; i++) {
    var file =  this.files[i];
    var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
    xhr.open("POST", url, true);
    xhr.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
    xhr.onreadystatechange = function() {
        if (xhr.readyState == 4 && xhr.status == 200) {
            var id = xhr.responseText;
            var input = createElement("input");
            input.setAttribute("type", "hidden");
            input.setAttribute("name", name);
            input.setAttribute("value", id);
            file_input.after(input);
        }
    };
    var reader  = new FileReader();
    reader.onloadend = function() {
      var bytes = reader.result;
      var ext = file.name.split(".").pop();
      xhr.send("bytes="+bytes+"&type="+ext);
    }
    reader.readAsDataURL(file);
  }
}

complete java function:

  public Integer upload(String bytes, String type) throws IOException {
    byte[] bytes_final = Base64.getDecoder().decode(bytes.split(",")[1]);
    BufferedImage src = ImageIO.read(new ByteArrayInputStream(bytes_final));

    String file_name = file_path + File.separator + fileName();
    File arquivo = new File(file_name);
        if(!arquivo.exists())
            if(arquivo.mkdirs())
                arquivo.createNewFile();

  }

Illegal base64 character 20 means that received value contained an invalid character not present in the Base64 alphabet. 20 is a space, because error message uses hex format. The data on your screenshot shows that there are spaces in the sent bytes value.

As per this answer you can use reader.readAsBinaryString and then btoa to convert file content to Base64 yourself.
