jaxrs.ResteasyClient download file - client

Question

Request a webAPI that gives me a ZIP file. Now my question:
How to download that file with jaxrs.ResteasyClient. Here is what I have but it does not work for me.
// In
Reader reader = client.target(url).request().get().readEntity(Reader.class);
BufferedReader bufferedReader = new BufferedReader(reader);
// Out
File out = new File("C:\\tmp\\test.zip");
FileWriter fileWriter = new FileWriter(out);
BufferedWriter bufferedWriter = new BufferedWriter(fileWriter);
String s = null;
while (true) {
s = bufferedReader.readLine();
if (s == null) {
break;
}
bufferedWriter.write(s);
}
bufferedWriter.flush();
bufferedWriter.close();
bufferedReader.close();
I have no idea if this makes sense, but I do not find any good documentation about reading a file instead of a bean object.

Resolved this issue by not using jaxrs.ResteasyClient. Apache HTTPClient was my friend!
private void getFileByURL(String url, String target) throws URISyntaxException, IOException {
HttpClientBuilder builder = HttpClients.custom().build();
CloseableHttpClient client = builder.build();
HttpResponse response = client.execute(new HttpGet(new URI(url)));
BufferedInputStream bufferedInputStream = new BufferedInputStream(response.getEntity().getContent());
BufferedOutputStream bufferedOutputStream = new BufferedOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(new File(target)));
int inByte;
while ((inByte = bufferedInputStream.read()) != -1) {
bufferedOutputStream.write(inByte);
}
bufferedInputStream.close();
bufferedOutputStream.close();
EntityUtils.consume(response.getEntity());
}
