convert has no method matching convert(::Type{AbstractString}, ::Array{UInt8,1}) when using basic auth

I ran into this error and was able to solve it by using the example from the Codecs docs to get the string.

Weirdly I've not been able to get the tests to run due to ERROR (unhandled task failure): ReadOnlyMemoryError().

Looks like one of the tests failed?

Something in the 32bit Windows Julia nightly tests failed. It's not clear to me what or why since the logs are a bit cryptic. Do you know?

[malmaud]

Here's the core error:

Test Failed
  Expression: get("http://httpbin.org/redirect/3",max_redirects=1)
    Expected: Requests.RedirectException
  No exception thrown

I understand what that means, but not why it should have anything to do in particular with 32 bit Windows on nightly and why this PR would affect it.
