## Response `200`

Binary asset content stream with the asset's stored content type.

## Other responses

- `302`: Redirect to remote asset content.
- `400`: Asset lookup or download failed: `asset_not_found` if no matching asset is attached to the person; `asset_content_not_downloadable` if the asset's content cannot be streamed.
- `401`: Unauthorized
- `403`: Forbidden
- `415`: Unsupported Media Type
- `429`: Too Many Requests
