After a lot of digging, and trial and error, I finally found out what I was
doing wrong.
Had to add
transformResponse: function(data, headersGetter) { return { data : data }}
in the controller.
clientBulkImportResource: defineResource(apiVer +
"/clients/bulkimporttemplate", {}, {
get: {method: 'GET', responseType: 'arraybuffer',
transformResponse: function(data, headersGetter) { return { data :
data }}, params: {}}
}),
