This seems related to #8392 where the file upload fails

Suggest a fix

The issue is that client.decode expects a **os.File to be passed in, but the return type of the file download endpoint is already **os.File. The endpoint passes &localVarReturnValue which ends up as a ***os.File, so the file write never happens and nil is returned.

It seems like the **os.File return type of the endpoint is unnecessary, and could be reduced to just *os.File, or decode could expect a ***os.File, although a triple pointer makes me shudder just a little.

I'm having the same issue. Any recommendation apart from editing generated code?
