Did you Bypass AWS API Gateway.. or did you bypass it for a company who had their AWS API Gateway misconfigured?

I hate when people say this, as if there's any world in which I would want my AWS API gateway to do this, let alone accidentally. HTTP is littered with these footguns, differences between slashes and no slashes is a classic. A good piece of software would make it hard to do this by accident, and probably should default to having the same behaviour with or without trailing slash.

Yes yes, I know, folder/file naming convention dating from...

But it's current year now
