How to download file infected with virus?

[Inversion-des]

In my case, I had a problem with one file. There was an archive with an "eicar" file which is used for testing antivirus reaction. download_to_file method fails in such case with Invalid request (Google::Apis::ClientError). And it was hard to find a way to resolve this.

Solution is to call it with additional param file.download_to_file("/path/to/hoge.txt", acknowledge_abuse:true).
