Thanks Chris, I hadn't thought of that.
Though my current project involves working with a document's attachments,
and it seems show functions are unable to return the binary data for
attachments. (Which includes images, videos, etc)
The only way I've been able to serve the attachment is via direct GET
request, or using the rewrite functionality.
Is my understanding correct?
Thanks
