'Send and Download' base64 encodes binaries.

[Aaargh20318]

I was testing a REST interface after I made some modifications to my code and suddenly all the images I saved using postman were base64 encoded. Capturing a request using Wireshark shows the responses from the server are binary, postman is doing the base64 conversion when saving to disk.

This bug was introduced in a recent release as I used the same scenario a week or so back and at that time everything worked as expected.

Postman should never transform the output in any way when saving to file as it is unexpected behaviour for the user. I already wasted time debugging my server code, trying to figure out why JAX-RS was suddenly base64-encoding images before I figured out the problem was Postman.

Having exactly the same issue.

@Aaargh20318 @wspringer What versions of Postman are you using?

[Aaargh20318]

I'm using 4.1.2

[abhijitkane]

Can you update to 4.1.3 (chrome://extensions > Enable Developer Mode > Update extensions now)? I'm able to download images using Send and Download properly.

4.1.3 works.
