HTTP Request to get a non-Text file

Can I use an HTTP request to retrieve a binary file from a web server?

If the file is retrieved, what happens to the data?

Does anyone happen to have a method to pull a audio & video stream from 
a server and 'play' it in real-time?

Thanks,

Yes - for example it can fetch images.

Nothing much, unless you opt to save it using Functional mode or you
add a Save Responses to File Post-Processor.

The latter would be more suitable for binary files.
