Generating Content-MD5 for AWS S3 REST in Haxe

I'm trying to add a Content-MD5 header to my REST calls to AWS S3 in Haxe (compiling to PHP). It's generated by

var contentMD5 = haxe.crypto.Base64.encode(haxe.io.Bytes.ofString(haxe.crypto.Md5.encode(_data)));

with _data in my example being

<Delete><Object><Key>nathan/storage/72ENgrtnpA5VAoy7zEpzPRNEChN0TRGc</Key></Object><Object><Key>nathan/storage/7rlZZSJFvZ7AxUhQZsh4ufn9M2x8m1ae</Key></Object><Object><Key>nathan/storage/HN8NFlUnJiiGo7qlddvRrlGE6hPmWMnZ</Key></Object><Object><Key>nathan/storage/SFsZ8z63DswEVFJQJqmUwbenaWyfZ8zb</Key></Object><Object><Key>nathan/storage/YSYXXgYbSZixOKo27PL65ii6nCeiFesl</Key></Object></Delete>

My full request sent to AWS (for a multiple delete call as described here http://ift.tt/1FEu3Tm), using AWS signature version 4 (bucket, signature, and credential shortened):

POST /?delete= HTTP/1.1

The response is as follows (RequestId and HostId shortened)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Error><Code>InvalidDigest</Code><Message>The Content-MD5 you specified was invalid.</Message><Content-MD5>MDAzNDZmZjJiMGJkMDFkNzVjYzFiOGE4MzI5NTc0NGY=</Content-MD5><RequestId>rrrrrr</RequestId><HostId>ccccccc</HostId></Error>

In my opinion, the generated MD5 is correct. I verified the value with other tools. Also, note that x-amz-content-sha256 is based on the same _data and AWS accepted that header in my previous (non delete) calls.

What am I missing here? Why does my MD5 value differ from the one AWS generates?
