You can use the responseStream property to get a binary stream, for 
instance:

   var stream = new ActiveXObject("ADODB.Stream");

   http.open("GET", uri, false);
   http.send();
   // checkStatus(http, 200);
   stream.open();
   stream.Type = 1;
   try {
     if (http.responseText.length > 0) {
       stream.Write(http.responseBody);
     }
   }
   catch (e) {
     WScript.Echo("empty content? " + e);
   }
   stream.SaveToFile(filename), 2);
   stream.close();
