I am using go-swagger to download attachments. These are small multi-line files, and there is just a browser on the other end.
I tried defining the response as 'string', but can find no way to populate the payload with multiline text, it arrives with "rn" instead of newlines. I also tried 'string' format 'binary', but then the client sees a response containing a Reader{}. My content yaml for the 200 response looks like this:

headers:

        Content-Disposition:

          type: string

          pattern: attachment; filename="attachement.txt"

        Content-Type:

          type: string

          pattern: application/octet-stream

      schema:

        type: string

I also tried 'string' format 'byte', but I don't want a base64 encoded response.
Any advice on this?

This is what I have tried so far:

trying "string" format "byte"...

  payload := bytes.NewBufferString("first line")

    payload.WriteByte(13)

    payload.WriteByte(10)

    payload.WriteString("second line")

    payload.WriteByte(13)

    payload.WriteByte(10)

    resp := responses.NewGetResponseInfoOK()

    resp.SetPayload(payload)

  // fails.. will not accept payload other than strfmt.Bas64

trying "string"

payload := bytes.NewBufferString("first line")

    payload.WriteByte(13)

    payload.WriteByte(10)

    payload.WriteString("second line")

    payload.WriteByte(13)

    payload.WriteByte(10)

    resp := responses.NewGetResponseInfoOK()

    resp.SetPayload(payload.String())

  // accepts payload, but 13/10 get converted into rn

trying "string" format "binary"

type nopCloser struct {

      io.Reader

  }



  func (nopCloser) Close() error { return nil }





  payload := bytes.NewBufferString("first line")

    payload.WriteByte(13)

    payload.WriteByte(10)

    payload.WriteString("second line")

    payload.WriteByte(13)

    payload.WriteByte(10)

    resp := responses.NewGetResponseInfoOK()

    resp.SetPayload(nopCloser(payload))



  // accepts payload, but the browser sees a Reader{}

To reiterate the comment on the question, anyone who's trying to simply create an endpoint which allows for file download in go-swagger, just add an produces application/octet-stream to the method.
