Description

Reported by @xgeek-net in #516 .
`
There has a bug when I download binary file with github api, and I found responseType needs to be stream but not text, so can you review this and marge?
`

I'll track this issue here. If no one gets around to my request in the PR, I'll get to it eventually. We need a test that reproduces what @xgeek-net identified.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the GitHub API download path and the request handling around responseType. The issue identifies that binary downloads need a stream rather than text and calls for a reproducing test. Done means the regression test demonstrates successful binary downloading.
