Download file using WebClient

[freud14-tm]

Right now, the only way to download a file from Slack is to do something like this:

import requests
response = requests.get(url_private, headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {TOKEN}"}, timeout=30)

However, this does not respects the parameters passed to WebClient. We should be able to do something like:

client = WebClient()
response = client.get(url_private)

Or something along those lines.

Hi @freud14-tm, thanks for taking the time to share the feedback.

Since the WebClient class is supposed to be used only for https://api.slack.com/methods endpoints, we don't have immediate plans to add something like you suggested. With that being said, adding a useful module for downloading files could be beneficial for many developers. Thus, we may add such in the future. For now, please go ahead with requests library for it.
