I'm failing to enable binary support using the API Gateway with Terraform on Localstack.
The example is simple: a Lambda generates avatars similar to those of Github and returns the image as PNG.
The Lambda is (proxy) integrated with an API Gateway (the idea is: GET /avatars/{username}
-> image/png)
When I invoke the published URL (I'm doing this on Localstack), the API returns always the Base64 Encoded image without applying the CONVERT_TO_BINARY
.
Here are the basic steps...
resource "aws_api_gateway_rest_api" "api" {
name = var.api_name
# enable support for 'image/png'
binary_media_types = [
"image/png",
]
}
GET /avatars/{username}
endpoint:# ReST API endpoint 'avatars'
resource "aws_api_gateway_resource" "avatars" {
rest_api_id = aws_api_gateway_rest_api.api.id
parent_id = aws_api_gateway_rest_api.api.root_resource_id
path_part = "avatars"
}
# 'avatars' endpoint resource path parameter.
resource "aws_api_gateway_resource" "resource" {
rest_api_id = aws_api_gateway_rest_api.api.id
parent_id = aws_api_gateway_resource.avatars.id
path_part = "{username}"
}
# Defines the resource HTTP method (verb or action).
resource "aws_api_gateway_method" "get-avatar" {
rest_api_id = aws_api_gateway_rest_api.api.id
resource_id = aws_api_gateway_resource.resource.id
http_method = "GET"
authorization = "NONE"
request_parameters = {
"method.request.path.username" = true
}
}
GET /avatars/{username}
endpoint into the ReST API:resource "aws_api_gateway_integration" "resource_integration" {
rest_api_id = aws_api_gateway_rest_api.api.id
resource_id = aws_api_gateway_resource.resource.id
http_method = aws_api_gateway_method.get-avatar.http_method
type = "AWS_PROXY"
integration_http_method = "POST"
uri = aws_lambda_function.lambda.invoke_arn
passthrough_behavior = "WHEN_NO_MATCH"
request_parameters = {
"integration.request.path.id" = "method.request.path.username"
}
}
resource "aws_api_gateway_integration_response" "get-avatar-response" {
rest_api_id = aws_api_gateway_rest_api.api.id
resource_id = aws_api_gateway_resource.resource.id
http_method = aws_api_gateway_method.get-avatar.http_method
status_code = "200"
content_handling = "CONVERT_TO_BINARY"
}
resource "aws_api_gateway_deployment" "deployment" {
rest_api_id = aws_api_gateway_rest_api.api.id
stage_name = "stage"
depends_on = [aws_api_gateway_method.get-avatar, aws_api_gateway_integration.resource_integration]
}
API Gateway assumes that the text data is a base64-encoded string and outputs the binary data as a base64-decoded blob.
Here the simple Lambda handler (in the awesome Go of course: :-) )
func handler(ctx context.Context, evt events.APIGatewayProxyRequest) (events.APIGatewayProxyResponse, error) {
log.Printf("Processing request data for request %s.\n", evt.RequestContext.RequestID)
username := evt.PathParameters["username"]
if len(username) == 0 {
code := http.StatusBadRequest
msg := http.StatusText(code)
return events.APIGatewayProxyResponse{Body: msg, StatusCode: code}, nil
}
key := []byte{0x00, 0x11, 0x22, 0x33, 0x44, 0x55, 0x66, 0x77, 0x88, 0x99, 0xAA, 0xBB, 0xCC, 0xDD, 0xEE, 0xFF}
icon := identicon.New7x7(key)
log.Printf("creating identicon for '%s'\n", username)
pngdata := icon.Render([]byte(username))
body := base64.StdEncoding.EncodeToString(pngdata) // <= Base64 Encoded Response
return events.APIGatewayProxyResponse{
Body: body,
Headers: map[string]string{
"Content-Type": "image/png",
},
IsBase64Encoded: true, // <= Is Base64 Encoded? Yes!
StatusCode: 200,
}, nil
}
Invoking the endpoint with curl (for example):
curl 'http://localhost:4566/restapis/8nilx7bu49/stage/_user_request_/avatars/type-a-username-here'
...it responds with the Base64 encoded image. Infact, if I pipe the output to base64 -d
saving the content, the image is right:
curl 'http://localhost:4566/restapis/8nilx7bu49/stage/_user_request_/avatars/type-a-username-here' -s | base64 -d > test.png
Could someone please point me out what I'm missing or confusing?
All the best, Luca
I got it working by using "*/*" as binary_media_types and nothing else. I read somewhere that if you specify something the client needs to send an identical accept content header.
I also don't have a aws_api_gateway_integration_response resource.
And finally I'm returning the raw image bytes in the form of a ByteArray. I'm using Kotlin to implement my lambda but the below should give you an idea how how to do it.
@Get("/{id}/avatar")
fun getImage(id: Long): HttpResponse<ByteArray> {
logger.info { "AvatarController.getImage($id)" }
val image = avatarService.getImage(id)
val bytes: ByteArray = IOUtils.toByteArray(image)
return HttpResponse.ok(bytes).contentType(MediaType.APPLICATION_OCTET_STREAM_TYPE)
Don't Base64 encode and don't use APIGatewayProxyResponse.
