# Download a single media object

`GET /media/{mediaId}/download`

Streams the original S3 object for a single media row with an
`attachment` Content-Disposition header. Used by the demo-ui
lightbox and inspection-row download buttons to avoid the CORS
and cross-origin `<a download>` limitations of going directly
to CloudFront.

## Response `200`
