Do you are aware about this? I cannot download a pdf from a remote site. The headers shows the correct content-length but the content always get bigger (some kind of unicode encoded) but I cannot figure out how to correctly decode it.

Is it possible to correct download a remote pdf from a cloudflare protected site? I guess this happens with all kind of remote binary files...

Still no clue? I haven't figured it out yet...
