Currently, there is no way of getting an unrendered form from REST.

There is an issue that describes this functionality: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/ACT-269

Thanks for the reply Frederik.

So would the recommended solution be to return a 'form' with the path to the deployment artifact ?

Mark,

Indeed, use the formResourceKey on the Task (or startFormResourceKey on ProcessDefinition) as resource-name, and use:

GET /deployment/{deploymentId}/resource/{formResourceKey}
This is a workaround, so keep this in mind.
