Ok, so some progress:
invoice_page = agent.get(URL_BILLING)
link = invoice_page.links_with(:href => "/be-portal/downloadPdf").first
page = agent.click(link)
#pp page
File.open('myfile.pdf', 'w+') do |file|
     file << page
  end

If I look at the content of page now it contains the stream of PDF data 
as well as:
@code="200",
@filename="Invoice_14051844_08/09/2010.pdf",
@response=
