How to make API Gateway accept http instead of https

Question

I have a Lambda function proxied by API Gateway. However, API Gateway only expose https and not http.From my research i found out that API Gateway doesn’t  accept http.

So my question is how to translate http client calls to https and send to api gateway?

Answer 1

You can put a Cloudfront distribution in front of API Gateway with to following setup:

• Origin Protocol Policy: HTTPS Only
• Viewer Protocol Policy: HTTP and HTTPS
• Forward Headers: None
• Object Caching: Use Origin Cache Headers

As far as i know this worked for me.Give it a try.
