Body payload rules - JSONError

[eruvanos]

We do have a pact, that contains some non-JSON body.

{
  "consumer": {
    "name": "Pot"
  },
  "provider": {
    "name": "Rainbow"
  },
  "interactions": [
    {
      "description": "return word",
      "providerState": "entry exists",
      "request": {
        "method": "GET",
        "path": "/doc/dc98ea69-d442-abcd-ba6b-5ee0815b1882",
        "headers": {
          "Accept": "application/msword",
        }
      },
      "response": {
        "status": 200,
        "headers": {
          "content-type": "application/msword"
        },
        "body": "RE9DVU1FTlRfQ09OVEVOVA=="
      }
    }
  ],
  "metadata": {
    "pactSpecification": {
      "version": "2.0.0"
    }
  }
}

The verify fails with JSON exception from this line.

Regarding the docs-"Body payload rules" the verify should at least compare the two body values.

By the way: Is there a chance to support binary comparison, by giving base64 encoded values?
