How to download a single asset instead of getting the Metainformations

[BernhardBehrendt]

It's more a question than an issue.

As written here:
https://developer.github.com/v3/repos/releases/#get-a-single-release-asset

It's possible to download the assets directly via the api:

If you want to download the asset's binary content, pass a media type of "application/octet-stream". The API will either redirect the client to the location, or stream it directly if possible. API clients should handle both a 200 or 302 response.

How is this achieved using this library?

Thanks in advance

You can provide headers on a per-request basis so, in this case:

github.repos.getAsset({
    user: testRepo.user,
    repo: testRepo.repo,
    id: assetId,
    headers: {
        "Accept": "application/octet-stream"
    }
}, function(err, res) {
    console.log(res);
});

I've added a full example at examples/getReleaseAsset.js.

Closing for now.
