Get downloaded file from submit button requests python

I want to save locally the configuration file from my cable modem. I already have logged into the html admin page of the modem and inside the backup page, there is a button to backup the configuration file. Inside the event, there is a POST method on the form that leads to the next url:

https://192.168.1.1/goform/BackUp

The response headers are:

HTTP/1.0 200 OK
Server: GoAhead-Webs
Pragma: no-cache
Cache-control: no-cache
Content-Type: application/download 
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=cmconfig.cfg // This is the file that is downloaded when I click in the BackUp button

And this are the parameters that I pass to the POST function:

dir: admin/
file: cmconfig.cfg

So far, I have this code:

with requests.Session() as s:  # To login into the modem
    pagePostBackUp = 'https://192.168.1.1/goform/BackUp'
    s.post(urlLogin, data=loginCredentials, verify=False, timeout=5)
    dataBackUp = {'dir': 'admin/','file': 'cmconfig.cfg'}
    resultBackUp = s.post(pagePostBackUp, data=dataBackUp, verify=False, timeout=10)

What should be the next line to save the cmconfig.cfg file locally?

Your resultBackUp is a response object, so you could use its text or json methods.

print(resultBackUp.text)
