Question

no headers in web event

I have set up a very basic DO serverless function. I am not seeing a http object in any of my events. Here’s a quick look at the function (very very simple):

export const main = async (event: unknown) => {
  return event
}

I am running a POST to https://faas-nyc1-2ef2e6cc.doserverless.co/api/v1/namespaces/<my-namespace>/actions/serverless-postmark/send

payload: {"message": "derp"}

and http headers: {referer: 'http://locahost:3000', 'Content-Type': 'application/json', Authorization: 'Bearer <token>'}

Very simple, very dumb. Here’s the entirety of the response:

{"message":"derp"}

No http object. Any guesses?
