Description

I want to download a file from Box and the setHeader doesn't accept objects when setting the header.  The required output parameter is a OutputStream. The integration tests use the component directly as opposed to the URLs or setHeader methods. I would have expected the outputstream payload to be in the Message coming out of the endpoint.  The REST component documentation looks more like what I was expecting.

My variation of the example from the docs that doesn't work:

from("timer:test?period=3600")
    .setHeader("CamelBox.fileId", constant("12345678")
    .setHeader("CamelBox.output", new ByteArrayOutputStream())
    .to("box://files/download")
    .to("file://out");

Using Camel thinking, I tried this code first but I understand if this component wants to be special with its headers and stuff.

from("timer:test?period=3600")
   .to("box://files/download?fileId=123456789") 
   .to("file://out");  

Again, please let me know what I can do to help.
