Encode an ArrayBuffer as a base64 string
// Converts an ArrayBuffer directly to base64, without any intermediate 'convert to string then
// use window.btoa' step. According to my tests, this appears to be a faster approach:
// http://jsperf.com/encoding-xhr-image-data/5
function base64ArrayBuffer(arrayBuffer) {
var base64 = ''
var encodings = 'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789+/'
var bytes = new Uint8Array(arrayBuffer)
var byteLength = bytes.byteLength
