Invoke-VSTeamRequest call to API returning content application/octet-stream fails #564

Description

Steps to reproduce

$build = Get-VSTeamBuild -Definitions $pipelineId  -ResultFilter succeeded -Top 1
$artifacts = Get-VSTeamBuildArtifact -id $build.id
Invoke-VSTeamRequest -NoProject -area resources  -resource Containers -id "$($artifacts.id)/drop" -QueryString  @{ itemPath = "drop/myartifactfile.json" }

Expected behavior

As the artifact is a json file, I expect Invoke-VSTeamRequest manages the result and return a psobject representation of the json

As a workarround it's possible to provide the -OutFile parameter to save the content in a temp file and then do

Invoke-VSTeamRequest -NoProject -area resources  -resource Containers -id "$($artifacts.id)/drop" -QueryString  @{ itemPath = "drop/myartifactfile.json" } -OutFile temp.json
Get-Content temp.json | CovertFrom-Json

But this forces to save a file and remove it in an additional step

Actual behavior?

Exception: C:.....\PowerShell\Modules\VSTeam\7.13.0\vsteam.functions.ps1:279
