[PYTHON] Error when receiving .zip file octet-stream response from API endpoint

[NA-Dev]

Description

I generated a client to consume an API. One of the endpoints returns an octet-stream of a zipped file with .zip extension. When receiving this file, I get the following error trace. I get that this is to do with encoding, but I have no idea how to make the codegen generate code that works. When I try chardet it says {'encoding': None, 'confidence': 0.0, 'language': None}. When I fetch the report in Postman, I can save the raw response as a zip file and extract a csv file with no issues.

  File "/home/user/dev/my_sdk/api_client.py", line 328, in call_api
    return self.__call_api(resource_path, method,
  File "/home/user/dev/my_sdk/api_client.py", line 156, in __call_api
    response_data = self.request(

    return self.rest_client.GET(url,

    return self.request("GET", url,
  File "/home/user/dev/my_sdk/rest.py", line 226, in request
    r.data = r.data.decode('utf8')

I think this is a file that needs to be saved without decoding. Can I generate a client that does that, or do I need to set _preload_content to False, and handle it all manually?
