Description
Can we have the ability to set a custom HTTP response header from AppSync? I have a requirement to set a custom HTTP header based on the user query. I see that AppSync provides access to the request headers here: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/appsync/latest/devguide/resolver-context-reference.html
However, there is no access to the response headers from the resolvers. I haven't figured out a good way to set a custom HTTP response header from AppSync within AWS yet. Currently, I am looking at intercepting the request / response through CloudFront/Lambda@Edge to be able to do this, which adds additional latency to our process.

Research direction
Start with the AppSync resolver context reference linked in the issue and compare its request-header access with the requested response-header behavior. Review the reported CloudFront/Lambda@Edge interception workaround as context. Done means AppSync can set a custom HTTP response header from resolver logic based on the user query without that workaround.
