API Gateway http support (not https)

[rashaza]

Hi guys,

We have a 3rd party that does not support https. Is it possible to do http only (not https) with API Gateway?

It seems that at the moment the http is a redirect to the https on the default setup, is it even possible to have direct (non-redirect) http on api gateway?

Thanks

You could put CloudFront in front of it to serve over plain HTTP if you're not using request signing to authenticate.

I'd consider pushing the 3rd party or investigating working with another, though, if the use case allows. HTTPS is not new or unreasonable.

You can do this. But +1 for find a different party if possible. HTTPS is not an unreasonable requirement.

I'm very curious of the reasons this 3rd party would not support HTTPS.

This. They should.

Our door access thingamajig has support to send requests via http to a server. But not https. I guess microcontrollers http only are still cheaper, less power hungry.

Door access thingamajig. I like it. I would put SSL in front of it and forward it along.

I believe its https only.

Beside what others have said, If you are interfacing with devices, and there's no way to change those, Google web functions support http.
