How can i use RestKit to get stream of data (NSData)

Question

I have a rest server that receives a json but returns content of a file. I am looking for a way to get the content of the file as NSData.

How can i do that?

Use RestKit only to create the NSURLRequest that you're going to send, then deal with actually sending it and handling the response data yourself, probably using AFNetworking (which RestKit is currently built on top of so you have direct access to).
