readmetadata returning null records when used for getting Flows in Salesforce Org

@afawcett I'm seeing this exact behavior on RemoteSiteSettings. It looks like readMetadata for RSS just returns null no matter what. Have you seen this too?

(I've confirmed behavior in JSForce and Postman raw posts as well)

I was able to fix this by specifying the full name of the RemoteSiteSetting.

MetadataService.RemoteSiteSetting wfa = (MetadataService.RemoteSiteSetting) service.readMetadata('RemoteSiteSetting',
                new String[]{
                        '<REMOTESITESETTING FULLNAME>'
                }).getRecords()[0];

        System.debug(wfa.url);

So, I'm assuming that still doesn't work? Here's what I'm passing:

MetadataService.Flow flowResult = (MetadataService.Flow) mdService.readMetadata('Flow', new List<String>{'<NAME OF FLOW>'}).getRecords()[0];

All values (actionCalls, decisions, etc.) still return as "null". When I make a call using the REST Explorer, however, it returns that data just fine. It is clear that the data is there. Why isn't it returning using the syntax above?

Currently reading of Flows is not supported in the library, it is actually broken in the Salesforce API this library wraps. I'm waiting for that to be fixed and I will update the library. Here is the duplicate issue. #26.
