In Python 2 StringIO could accept either Unicode or 8-bit strings.
Similar change made for HttpUrl:

2019-09-15)
Non-existent FtpUrl.max_size introduced in:
7b34be590 ("Introduce check plugins, use Python requests for http/s
connections, and some code cleanups and improvements.", 2014-03-01)
Additional self.direct() not added in:
f107092a8 ("Fix handling of user/password info in URLs.", 2012-06-10)
gettext.translation() can do most of the work for us, calling
gettext.find() and with fallback=True returning a NullTranslations if no
catalog is found.
The do_unicode parameter of install_builtin() should have been removed
in:
384e1e196 ("Remove Python 2 gettext builtin installation", 2020-04-15)
I started with a test of urlencoded anchors, assuming at the URL might
have a urlencoded anchor, but the actual anchor in the HTML would NOT be
urlencoded.
[I] discovered that fileurl.py was stripping the anchors from url_data,
which breaks AnchorCheck. So I stopped it from doing that, and
tried to fix up all the places that were assuming the url would map to a
filesystem file. The tests all pass, but I'm not 100% sure I caught all
the cases, or fixed them correctly.
drop_privileges() is only used by the linkchecker command.
Move installing SIGUSR1 handler to the linkchecker command only - fixes
intermittent test failures.
Set up the requests.Session() with the complete proxy configuration
to fix a problem with using an HTTP server as an HTTPS proxy and
potential redirection issues.
Requests handles no_proxy.
Beautiful Soup uses chardet, if installed, to detect character
encodings. This can lead to different test results based on whether
chardet is installed or not.
Requests < 2.26.0 requires chardet, but since 2.26.0 Requests requires
charset_normalizer.
Explicitly installing chardet maintains consistent test results.
* Make ResultCache max_size configurable
fixes#463
* Add tests and docs.
* fix documentation...
...adapt the source, not the auto-generated man pages themselves as
requested in #544.
* fix typo.
The minimum version supported was already 4.8.0 because of the use
of multi_valued_attributes [1].
Test support for < 4.8.1 is the only code that needs removing [2].
