I provide base64 encoded credentials and the pipeline happily parses the xml response bodies, follows link relations, recursively follows pagination links, constructs its own request bodies to POST and so on. Everything is great except for one awkward part: The API provides access to zip files containing a bundle of resources, including some XML files that I need. I was hoping I could use pxp:unzip providing the url of the zip, but I have provide the authentication header as well. Should I use p:http-request and send the result of that to pxp:unzip? Unfortunately p:http-request doesn't seem to like hitting an endpoint that gives it non-xml content. What's the right approach? Is there an example of how to do this?
