      Yes, and I don't find solutions on old threads.

      What do you mean?

      The solution is to only give bytes not utf or decoded_content

        Any decode functions don't work.

        $response return code of data in image format, i. e. png, jpg

        Some examples:

        $response = $response->content() if($response->is_success());
die Dumper($response);

        $ perl test.pl
$VAR1 = '▒PNG
