   Thanks for the question.
   
   At the moment, the built-in `Http` source is oriented around text / JSON 
responses rather than raw file-stream forwarding.
   
   - In the current implementation, the HTTP response body is converted to a 
`String`.
   - Without a schema, the source emits a single `content` string column.
   - With a schema, the connector only supports JSON mapping, not a raw binary 
stream contract.
   
   So:
   
   1. text / JSON HTTP content -> `LocalFile` sink is possible
   2. raw binary file download (for example pdf / image / zip) -> `LocalFile` 
binary sink is **not** a supported end-to-end path today
   
   If your target is the second case, please share a concrete example:
   
   1. response type (`pdf`, `image`, `zip`, etc.)
   2. expected output layout on disk
   3. whether this is needed for batch, streaming, or both
   
   That would be better tracked as an enhancement request rather than a bug.
