[issue25439] Add type checks to urllib.request.Request

[Martin Panter]

Martin Panter added the comment:

I meant removing one of the checks in AbstractHTTPHandler.do_request_(). I left a note in the review at the relevant line.

One more thing I forgot to mention, although I am afraid it is 90% nit picking the dict iterable check. For the “http:” scheme, an iterable of “bytes-like” objects is supported (again not documented though). For HTTPS (over SSL), not every bytes-like object is supported, but common ones like bytearray() still work I think.
