Hi GustavoLeopoldo,
Since you have successfully received your data, you don't need to observe what's the actual transfer type (content-type). This same content is saved as is in your response object as binary/blob and you can do the same like you can to any other such object (i.e. to save as a file, process it, etc.). Just do it; it's not clear what's the actual issue. There is a bunch of data matching exactly to the file downloaded. It's your decision how you would interpret them (text, binary, etc.). The result contains metadata too and it might help you define actual data type.
Hope this helps.
Add: Here is a simple example how a file could be saved. Good luck.
