Lambda return types through HTTP API Gateway - only json array or json object are working , else error 500

[fxfire]

I'd like to return binary data through the HTTP API Gateway (HTTP , NOT REST API!), but the response has to be a json object, always. Is there some workaround to make that happen like it is possible for the REST API ?

#include <aws/lambda-runtime/runtime.h>
using namespace aws::lambda_runtime;
static invocation_response my_handler(invocation_request const& req)
{
     return invocation_response::success("binarygoeshere", "application/zip");
}

int main()
{
    run_handler(my_handler);
    return 0;
}

^this returns error code 500

Hey thanks for the reply. But as I wrote in my initial post, these settings are only possible in the offered REST API, not in the HTTP API.
