Description
# Description
I'm trying to chain Execute requests (smoothing of a time series).
PyWPS seems to interpret the contents of the `````` as an str and use this as the body of the subsequent POST request. However, urllib refuses to use this str as the body and throws this exception instead:
```
POST data should be bytes or an iterable of bytes. It cannot be of type str., description:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/bossie/PycharmProjects/list-tsa-service/env/lib/python3.5/site-packages/pywps/app/Service.py", line 402, in href_handler

File "/home/bossie/PycharmProjects/list-tsa-service/env/lib/python3.5/site-packages/pywps/app/Service.py", line 622, in _openurl
reference_file = urlopen(url=href, data=data)

raise TypeError(msg)
TypeError: POST data should be bytes or an iterable of bytes. It cannot be of type str.
```
This is the request I'm trying to send:
```xml
smooth
timeseries
timeseries
product_id
BIOPAR_FAPAR_V2_GLOBAL
feature
timeseries
```
