Can you please precise what you are trying to do?

If you just want to replace the implementation without changing the API
to support bytes, I'm not sure what the point is.

If you want the public API to support bytes, perhaps it would be worth
discussing it (on python-dev perhaps, since I'm not sure everyone
concerned is here)?
Although since HTTP is bytes at the protocol level anyway, it doesn't
seem very controversial to me...
