title: Accessing raw url using AWS API Gateway
body: <p>Is it possible to access the raw url using AWS API Gateway (and Lambda)?</p>
  
  <p>Alternatively, is it possible to access the original, undecoded query string paramters?</p>
  
  <p>We are integrating against a third party service, that calls our API and encodes the query string params from Windows-1252. (E.g. the finnish letter Ä is encoded as %C4 instead of %C3%84). API Gateway seems to automatically decode the query string parameters and assume UTF-8, which means, that Ä (and Ö and Å) result in \ufffd.</p>
