Research direction

Inspect xmlrpc.js around line 81, especially the default case reached when invalid arguments are supplied. Reproduce the error in Node.js with bad arguments and verify that the case no longer raises a missing-btoa ReferenceError and instead completes its intended handling.

Description

I'm using xmlrpc.client in Node.js and I found out that I was sometimes calling it with bad arguments which triggered this default case I assume, which threw ReferenceError: btoa is not defined.

As far as I'm aware, btoa is not available in Node.js and maybe this would require an alternative solution.
