yeah so I'm getting bytes back from the get_file_view, and get_file_download, I thought I would get back a URL as with the desktop client?

Summary

Developers are experiencing an issue with the `getFileDownload` and `getFileView` endpoints in the Python SDK. They are receiving bytes instead of a URL when using these endpoints. They are unsure if this is the intended behavior for the server SDK. They have also tried converting the bytes to a string but have been unsuccessful. The error message they received when attempting to convert the bytes is included. They are wondering if this issue is normal or if it is a bug. Solution: The cause of the issue is unclear. It is suggested to reach out to <@462046107556511744> for further clarification and assistance.

Python

image_document = self.database.add_user_image(
                    image_request.image,
                    f"{image_request.userId}_{datetime.now().timestamp()}{file_extension}",
                    image_request.mimetype,
                    image_request.userId,
                )
                print(f"Uploaded image document ID: {image_document.get('$id')}")  # type: ignore
                file_url = self.database.storage.get_file_view(
                    image_request.userId,
                    image_document.get("$id"),  # type: ignore
                )
                print(f"File: {json.dumps(file_url, indent=4)}")

I've gotten back (from each endpoint) bytes and Idk why, so

Bash

print(f"File: {json.dumps(file_url, indent=4)}")

@Drake is this supposed to happen?

Or is the server SDK not meant to be used like this
