I reported a viral bug/typo on that page months ago, but looks like  
it's still present.

The sample client response is identified on that page as:

[email protected]^Aauth=Bearer  
vF9dft4qmTc2Nvb3RlckBhdHRhdmlzdGEuY29tCg==^A^A (^A = ASCII 1)

And the base64-encoded version of that is given as:

dXNlcj1zb21ldXNlckBleGFtcGxlLmNvbQFhdXRoPUJlYXJlciB2RjlkZnQ0cW1UYzJOdmIzUmxj
a0JoZEhSaGRtbHpkR0V1WTI5dENnPT0BAQo=

The problem is that decodes to this string:

[email protected]^Aauth=Bearer  
vF9dft4qmTc2Nvb3RlckBhdHRhdmlzdGEuY29tCg==^A^A<LF (ASCII 10)>

The correct base64 representation is instead:

dXNlcj1zb21ldXNlckBleGFtcGxlLmNvbQFhdXRoPUJlYXJlciB2RjlkZnQ0cW1UYzJOdmIzUmxj
a0JoZEhSaGRtbHpkR0V1WTI5dENnPT0BAQ==
