HTTPMethod is empty

[brydavis]

Tried to use the events.APIGatewayProxyRequest.HTTPMethod but it returned ""

Here's the full handler

func Handler(request events.APIGatewayProxyRequest) (events.APIGatewayProxyResponse, error) {
	fmt.Println("Received body: ", request.Body)
	switch request.HTTPMethod {
	case "POST":
		return events.APIGatewayProxyResponse{Body: request.Body, StatusCode: 200}, nil
	default: // GET
		response := events.APIGatewayProxyResponse{
			Body:       request.QueryStringParameters["value"],
			StatusCode: 200,
		}
		return response, nil
	}
}

I'm also encountering this issue, but only on the root ("/") requests. HTTPMethod is empty and so is the event.Path.

[brydavis]

So, it works on all non-root paths? Interesting

From my tests only root is causing a problem.

any solution for this case ?

Experiencing this issue right now.
request.HTTPMethod is empty and we have a resource (not root path).
This issue is old, so im wondering if a solution has been found... Any information on this would be awesome.

I have the same issue ..

I know this is an old thread but I found things worked when I changed to APIGatewayV2HTTPRequest
ie
func HandleRequest(ctx context.Context, req events.APIGatewayV2HTTPRequest)

APIGatewayV2HTTPRequest worked for me aswell.

Such a headbang... I went down the rabbit hole of trying to set up paths with proxy, only to learn this is just a damn bug in the framework.
Why do we have APIGatewayProxyRequest and HTTPMethod if it's non-functional?!
