Return the contents of the file as an HTTP octet stream. The etag returned by this method represents the whole state of this file. In another word, if you are reading just a portion of the data, etag could be invalid because of other changes happened to the file, even the specific portion of data you read is still intact.
Parameters

Yes
snapshot
The snapshot ID that specifies the version of the filesystem to use. If not specified, use the head version.
No
offset
Read data from the requested file starting at the given 64-bit integer offset. If the offset is larger than the size of the file, the read will succeed and no data will be returned.
No
length
Read up to length bytes from the requested file. If the read extends beyond the end of the file, the read will return as many bytes as possible, up to length.
