A mime type multipart, ugly eh? However that's what the spec mandates, sorry :)
The WCS 1.1 response can be:
- a mime multiplart document, with a xml document and the actual
coverage attached (you need a mail program to extract it)
- with &store=true, just a xml document, that will contain the link to
the actual raster, which you can download

There is no way to actually get the coverage directly. Sad but true.
Maybe one day someone will implement an gs custom extension to the
protocol that allows direct download.

Cheers
