How to read doc file from a link?

Question

Python

Good afternoon. Task: read the doc-file from the link.

import requests as req
from io import BytesIO
# иногда сайт ругается на ssl, поэтому пусть этот кусочек тоже тут будет для нормальной работы
import ssl
ssl._create_default_https_context = ssl._create_unverified_context

# тело скрипта
url ='https://www.uralprombank.ru/files/misc/admiralgorshkov-15.doc'
file = req.get(url, verify=False).content
file = BytesIO(file).read()
file = file.decode('cp65001', 'ignore')
print(file)

the output is "empty rectangles". Apparently, the problem is in the encoding.
What am I doing wrong and how to fix it? Thanks in advance.

You output the contents of the dock to the console.

import urllib.request
url ='https://www.uralprombank.ru/files/misc/admiralgorshkov-15.doc'
urllib.request.urlretrieve(url, "с:\\text.doc")
