I am trying to use ServiceStack to return a file to a ServiceStack client in a RESTful manner.

I have read other questions on SO (here and here) which advise using HttpResult and a FileInfo object or MemoryStream to allow the ContentType header to be changed to the relevant file type.

This works for me when I call the service via a browser, the correct file automatically starts to download. How do I consume the file using one of the ServiceStack clients though?

I'm using a Request DTO and trying to return using something similar to

return new HttpResult(new FileInfo("file.xml"), asAttachment:true) {
   ContentType = "text/xml"
};

How would I consume this with the JsonServiceClient for example?
