Why is R HTTR content statement not producing the expected request body?

I am using R to call on Cybersource API. When I use the GET request I obtain a successful response of 200. When I read the body of the the response rather than get the csv data back I get a path to a csv file path. I wonder what I am doing wrong.

content(request) gives

 "/space/download_reports/output/dailyreports/reports/2018/10/27/testrest/TRRReport-7931d82d-cf4a-71fa-e053-a2588e0ab27a.csv"

The result of content(request) should be the data not omegle.2yu.co a file path.

Here is a the code

library('httr')
merchant<-'testrest'
vcdate<-'Wed, 29 May 2019 10:09:48 GMT'
ho<-'apitest.cybersource.com'
URL<-'https://apitest.cybersource.com/reporting/v3/report-downloads?organizationId=testrest&reportDate=2018-10-27&reportName=TRRReport'
sign<-'keyid="08c94330-f618-42a3-b09d-e1e43be5efda", algorithm="HmacSHA256", headers="host (request-target) v-c-merchant-id", signature="7cr6mZMa1oENhJ5NclGsprmQxwGlo1j3VjqAR6xngxk="'
req<-GET(URL, add_headers(.headers=c('v-c-merchant-id'=merchant, 'v-c-date'=vcdate, 'Host'=ho, 'Signature'=sign)))
content(req)

Here is Cybersource test api where you can verify the data produced.

Hey, 

Honestly, I'm not exactly sure what's going on here, but I do think I was able to get something to work.
