Changing the Decoding type to Raw URL encoding.
JWTs make use of the base64url encoding as defined in RFC 4648 [RFC4648]. As allowed by Section 3.2 of the RFC, this specification mandates that base64url encoding when used with JWTs MUST NOT use padding. The reason for this restriction is that the padding character ('=') is not URL safe. [https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-jones-json-web-token-02.html#rfc.section.7)].
The base64 Std / URL parsers expect a padding character (=), which is optional and the absence of which can lead to unexpected failures. (https://pkg.go.dev/encoding/base64). There is a github issue which talks about the same - Base64 decoding not working correctly golang/go#46257
Also added extra logging for debugging.
