Question: When the new CloudFront headers will be available for the AppSync resolvers?

[ignaciolarranaga]

Hi, some weeks ago a new set of geolocation headers were added to CloudFront (see https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2020/07/cloudfront-geolocation-headers/).

Is there some ETA on when does the new headers will being available in the servers?, because currently they are still not available.

What is the current behavior? Only the previous set of headers is being sent, example:

headers: {
      'x-forwarded-for': '179.24.30.121, 130.176.27.160',
      'cloudfront-viewer-country': 'UY',
      'cloudfront-is-tablet-viewer': 'false',
      via: '2.0 .....4d81475b952240b1e00ec.cloudfront.net (CloudFront)',
      'cloudfront-forwarded-proto': 'https',
      origin: 'https://...71sr6k.cloudfront.net',
      'content-length': '403',
      'accept-language': 'es',
      host: '....xc4datmeyq.appsync-api.us-east-1.amazonaws.com',
      'x-forwarded-proto': 'https',
      'user-agent': 'Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_15_6) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/84.0.4147.125 Safari/537.36',
      accept: 'application/json, text/plain, */*',
      'cloudfront-is-mobile-viewer': 'false',
      'cloudfront-is-smarttv-viewer': 'false',
      'accept-encoding': 'gzip, deflate, br',
      referer: 'https://....71sr6k.cloudfront.net/....,
      'x-api-key': '....fkndgdevfzqd2snrujq',
      'content-type': 'application/json; charset=UTF-8',
      'sec-fetch-mode': 'cors',
      'x-amz-cf-id': ....6jR6TIpiPGGaQyoyuw==',
      'x-amzn-trace-id': 'Root=1-5f4aa86d-5d1ed20....',
      'sec-fetch-dest': 'empty',
      'x-amz-user-agent': 'aws-amplify/3.4.3 js',
      'cloudfront-is-desktop-viewer': 'true',
      'sec-fetch-site': 'cross-site',
      'x-forwarded-port': '443'
}

If the current behavior is a bug, please provide the steps to reproduce and if possible a minimal demo of the problem. Not a bug

What is the expected behavior? New headers being included in the AppSync request, example:

• CloudFront-Viewer-Country-Name: United States
• CloudFront-Viewer-Country-Region: MI
• CloudFront-Viewer-Country-Region-Name: Michigan
• CloudFront-Viewer-City: Ann Arbor
• CloudFront-Viewer-Postal-Code: 48105
• CloudFront-Viewer-Time-Zone: America/Detroit
• CloudFront-Viewer-Latitude: 42.30680
• CloudFront-Viewer-Longitude: -83.70590
• CloudFront-Viewer-Metro-Code: 505

Which versions and which environment (browser, react-native, nodejs) / OS are affected by this issue? Did this work in previous versions? Amplify API -> AppSync
