Description

@rvandegrift

Now that python2.7 support is deprecated, download_as_string is never correct.

I doubt it can safely be changed to actually download a string. But at least is the API provided a download_as_bytes, we could avoid the confusing pattern where code looks like it downloaded a string and then must convert it to a string.
