I initialized the client:

defas_utc_with_z(date):date_str=date.astimezone(tz.UTC).isoformat()returnf"{date_str[:-6]}Z"defparse_datetime(dt):d=dateutil.parser.parse(dt)ifd.tzinfoisNone:d=d.replace(tzinfo=tz.tzlocal())returnddefmain():parser=argparse.ArgumentParser()    ...args=parser.parse_args(argv)fetch_range= (parse_datetime(args.begin),parse_datetime(args.end))    ...fetch_range= [as_utc_with_z(x)forxinfetch_range]kwargs= {"host":credentials["host"],"port":credentials["port"],"username":credentials["user"],"password":credentials["password"],"database":credentials["db"],"ssl":True,"verify_ssl":True,    }client=InfluxDBClient(**kwargs)query=f"SELECT * FROM verzuolo WHERE time >= '{fetch_range[0]}' AND time <= '{fetch_range[1]}'"res=client.query(query)    ...

When I execute my script with--begin 2021-06-03T00:00 --end 2021-06-03T23:59 then I get this error:

UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xb0 in position 0: invalid start byte

I know that the customer started writing data at some point on the 3rd of June, if I set the date to 2nd of June I get an empty response. But when I use any other day, then I get a proper reponse.

So the problem is in theinfluxdb/client.py file on line 357 (request function). Passingraw=False tomsgpack.unpackb yields the execption. Passingraw=True does not yield an error but in the response you don't getstr-objects butbyte-objects.

So the question is: where is the error? On the server side, or on the client side? And as an user of this library, is there anything I can do?
