Download Asset

Download the file attached to an asset. Returns a 302 redirect to a short-lived presigned S3 URL — clients must follow redirects to fetch the binary. Returns 404 with code 'no_file' if the asset has no file attached.

Pass ?locale=de to get that language's variant. If the asset has no file for that language the default file is returned instead, so a caller can always ask for its reader's language without checking first.

Images and PDFs open in the browser tab by default; pass ?disposition=attachment to force a save.
