Answer 1

Luckily, now AWS API Gateway supports binary data, though you also need to update your resource method through the CLI as it is not yet implemented in the Console. This is what you need to do:

1. In the Method Response of your method
   Set Content-Type as image/jpeg in HTTP 200 Status Response Header
2. In the Integration Response of your method
   Set Content-Type as 'image/jpeg' in Header Mappings. Mind the quotes!
3. With the AWS CLI, set contentHandling attribute to CONVERT_TO_BINARYon your Integration Response
