Hi there,

I’m confused by lambda-proxy / aws-proxy / aws\_proxy (Recommended) as found in [https://serverless.com/framework/docs/providers/aws/events/apigateway/](https://serverless.com/framework/docs/providers/aws/events/apigateway/)

IIUC the hello-world template gets me going with LAMBDA\_PROXY.

Am I supposed to use aws\_proxy instead? Or are they all equivalent?

I need to re-implement an API that looks like:

[https://ID.execute-api.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/staging/manifest/UUID/1495627037/foo/0/a:0/asc.m3u8](https://ID.execute-api.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/staging/manifest/UUID/1495627037/foo/0/a:0/asc.m3u8)

Thankfully after a lot of searching I did find [Lambda-proxy example](http://forum.serverless.com/t/lambda-proxy-example/618/4) trick. Why isn’t this properly documented?

Sidenote: Btw this forum is very weird with non-https URLs.

The line below the list says `aws-proxy` and `aws_proxy` are alternative styles for `lambda-proxy` so it looks like they’re the same.

I would have assumed they’re recommending that integration type as opposed to the other 4 on the list. If you don’t specify an integration explicitly then it defaults to Lambda Proxy.
