Is there an existing issue for this?

I have searched the existing issues

Current behavior

When I attempt to download a PDF response, the downloaded PDF cannot be rendered (it is blank). Compare this to downloading the PDF directly from the browser, and it works.

Steps to reproduce

Make a GET request for a PDF file, like https://www.w3.org/WAI/ER/tests/xhtml/testfiles/resources/pdf/dummy.pdf
The raw response shown is the binary data
Download the response
When attempting to download the response, the PDF cannot be rendered (it is blank)

I've tried to compare the downloaded response to the actual PDF, and there are some slight differences, but I couldn't determine what the exact difference was. There might be some slight encoding difference or something.

Side note but it would be nice if instead of showing the raw binary data, a rendered PDF was shown.

Environment

Production

Version

Cloud

@micthiesen Can you confirm which interceptor are you using ? Are you using None ? Proxy or the Browser Extension ?

I also just tested with Chrome (no extension) and it has the same issue. I'm using MacOS
