Description

I have a lambda with response streaming enabled. Invoked via Function URL. I am trying to return a status code with no response body. I have reduced my code to the below sample to reproduce the issue:

```js
// File: index.cjs
// Handler: index.handler

const pipeline = require("util").promisify(require("stream").pipeline);
const { Readable } = require("stream");

exports.handler = awslambda.streamifyResponse(async (event, responseStream, context) => {
responseStream = awslambda.HttpResponseStream.from(responseStream, {
statusCode: 403,
});

await pipeline(
Readable.from(Buffer.alloc(0)),
responseStream,
);
});
```

I can see the HTTP headers are sent correctly and received by the client. But the connection remains open for up to 16 minutes. It seems like the runtime expects a response body, and if there is none, it just hangs and does not close the connection.

What's even stranger is that I have tested this in 2 different accounts. One of the accounts has been created ages ago, and the code above actually works fine as one would expect. The other account is newer (and it's where that code is supposed to run), and it just hangs and doesn't close the connection. Region is `us-east-1`.
