When running in Pyodide inside a browser, it appears that the request library puts the literal string value of headers in browser fetch requests.
By leaving the value as a byte string, it ends up being sent as
Authorization: b'Basic ...'
.There are different ways to approach this isssue, but ultimately headers are strings and so this fixes the issue by decoding the value before setting the header.
