 OpenSim/Server/Handlers/Asset/AssetServerGetHandler.cs

Handles: GET /assets

URL patterns:

{| class="wikitable"
! Path !! Calls !! Response
|-
| /assets/{id} || IAssetService.Get(id) || XML-serialized AssetBase; Content-Type: text/xml
|-
| /assets/{id}/data || IAssetService.GetData(id) || Raw binary data; Content-Type: application/octet-stream
|-
| /assets/{id}/metadata || IAssetService.GetMetadata(id) || XML-serialized AssetMetadata; Content-Type: SLUtil.SLAssetTypeToContentType(type)
|}

404 handling: if RedirectURL is configured and the asset is not found, the response is an HTTP redirect to RedirectURL + original path rather than a 404. This allows chaining to a fallback asset server.

Unknown path segments (anything other than "data" or "metadata" as the second segment) return 400 Bad Request.

Note: the commented-out Content-Type line for the full asset GET shows the original intent was to use SLAssetTypeToContentType, but it was changed to always return "text/xml".
