    On SUCCESS, Vault retrieves the latest version of the attachment from the document. The file name is the same as the attachment file name.

    The HTTP Response Header Content-Type is set to the MIME type of the file. For example, if the attachment is a PNG image, the Content-Typeis image/png. If we cannot detect the MIME file type, Content-Type is set to application/octet-stream. The HTTP Response Header Content-Disposition contains a filename attribute which can be used when naming the local file. When retrieving attachments with very small file size, the HTTP Response Header Content-Length is set to the size of the attachment. Note that for most attachment downloads (larger file sizes), the Transfer-Encoding method is set to chunked and the Content-Length is not displayed.
