Binary response data gets mangled

[wiseman]

When I do a GET of, e.g., a JPEG, it seems that the :body of the response gets mangled when it is converted to a string. How do I get access to the raw binary of the response body?

[njordhov]

To get a raw binary body, add :response-type :array-buffer to the request options. Alternative keywords include:

:array-buffer XhrIo.ResponseType.ARRAY_BUFFER :blob XhrIo.ResponseType.BLOB :document XhrIo.ResponseType.DOCUMENT :text XhrIo.ResponseType.TEXT :default XhrIo.ResponseType.DEFAULT
