How to mock binary response in Mirage

Using Mirage i need to mock my GET request which returns data in the form of binary string (the format is gzip). It is my first time using mirage and i don't know if i'm mocking a binary response, should I return a valid value? here is how i mocked it for now.

  this.get('/myproxy/api/v1/network/download', function (db, request) {
    let responseBlob = new window.Blob(['To be replaced with my actual binary data'], {type: 'application/octet-stream'})
    return new Response(
      200,
      {'content-disposition': "attachment; filename=network.myextension; filename*=UTF-8''network.myextension"},
      responseBlob
    )
  })

Here is my scenario: Upon receiving response from backend, i just convert the repose to blob and download it as a file. If i should create a valid binary data when i'm mocking data, how can i do it using mirage? should i store it as a file somewhere and use it as the mocked response? I appreciate if someone can help me.

I don't recommend mirage these days, and will recommend against folks using Mirage if they're looking to adopt something new.

MSW is a well-funded project, which works great with Ember, and has an example of using a binary response: https://mswjs.io/docs/recipes/binary-response-type
