**Tell us about your request**
Enable Lambda Function URLs to return binary data (e.g., PDFs, images, Excel files) directly in HTTP responses.
**Which service(s) is this request for?**
AWS Lambda - Lambda Function URLs
**Tell us about the problem you're trying to solve. What are you trying to do, and why is it hard?**
Building serverless web applications using Lambda Function URLs that need to serve binary content like PDF reports, Excel exports, and images. Lambda Function URLs cannot return binary data in responses - only text-based content is supported.
This forces unnecessary architectural complexity:
- Additional S3 bucket for temporary file storage
- Pre-signed URL generation and management
- Extra latency (write to S3 → generate URL → redirect client)
- Cleanup logic for temporary files
- Added costs for S3 PUT operations
API Gateway supports binary media types via `binaryMediaTypes` configuration, so this is technically feasible. Function URLs were positioned as a simpler alternative to API Gateway, but this limitation significantly reduces their utility.
**Are you currently working around this issue?**
Yes. We write binary content to an S3 "delivery bucket" and return a pre-signed URL with short expiration. The client follows this URL to download the file. This adds ~200-500ms latency, extra infrastructure, and operational overhead.
**Additional context**
- Base64 encoding works for small images but is impractical for larger files
- The existing 6MB payload limit would still apply - this is about content type, not size
- Common use case: serverless apps generating reports, exports, invoices

Nell’issue non sono identificati file del repository, test o punti di ingresso dell’implementazione. Inizia esaminando il comportamento delle risposte di Lambda Function URLs e il riferimento a binaryMediaTypes di API Gateway; il lavoro è completato quando Function URLs possono restituire direttamente PDF, immagini e altre risposte binarie mantenendo il limite di payload di 6MB indicato.
