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:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK

No http object. Any guesses?

Hey
In your project.yml, do you have the web property set to true for the function that you’re trying to access via HTTP? If not, you can add it like this:
packages:
- name: my-package
functions:
- name: serverless-postmark
web: true
That should allow you to access the function via HTTP as per the docs here.
For the status code issue, as far as I remember, the DigitalOcean Functions return 200 OK by default unless you enable web: raw in your function config. You can do that in project.yml:
packages:
- name: my-package
functions:
- name: serverless-postmark
web: raw
For more details, you can check the Parameters and Responses docs and the WebSecure configuration.
If this still doesn’t work, it might be worth reaching out to DigitalOcean support to confirm if there are any runtime-specific limitations.
Let me know how it goes!
