[issue8123] TypeError in urllib when trying to use HTTP authentication

[Senthil Kumaran]

Surprising that it was not observed in my system (Ubuntu).

There was mistake where in the bytes value was being coerced to a string.
bauth = "Basic: %s" % auth // with auth was bytes.

Fixed it in r83729 and r83730.
