In the event that the ucid has no attachments, HTTP 204 (Not Found) will be returned if @multi attribute is not specified, otherwise.

The keys to the anonymous structure, i.e., media, path, and size, correspond identically with that of the XML response. Please see below for details. The attribute @count is the total number of attachments residing in the data store for the corresponding ucid. If @count > 0, a list of attachment elements follows. The attributes are described below.
