Incompatibility with "requests" 2.9.0, just released about azure-storage-python

[jcea]

Minimal testcase:

data = b'\xd4\x1d\x8c\xd9\x8f\x00\xb2\x04\xe9\x80\t\x98\xec\xf8B~'
blob_service.put_block_blob_from_bytes(
        container_name = 'test',
        blob_name = "test",
        blob = data,
        )

Maybe related to this change in Request 2.9.0:

We now handle being passed a query string as a bytestring on Python 3, by decoding it as UTF-8.

Thank you for your report.

After investigation it seems that it's a problem in requests, I opened a bug in the requests repo for that.

Waiting for a new requests release. I close this bug.

Thanks for your time and fast reply.
