How to pass a path variable through API Gateway
<p>This is what I currently have in my Swagger file: </p>

<pre><code>"/v1/user/{username}": {
      "get": {
        "consumes": ["application/json"],
        "produces": ["application/json"],
        "parameters": [{
          "name": "username",
          "in": "path",
          "description": "Username of user",
          "required": true,
          "type": "string"
        }],
        "responses": {
          "200": {
            "description": "user retrieved",
            "schema": {
              "type": "array",
              "items": {
                "$ref": "#/definitions/User"
              }
            }
          }
        },
        "x-amazon-apigateway-integration": {
          "type": "http",
          "uri": "http://useroregon.recopspipeline.com/v1/user/{username}",
          "httpMethod": "GET",
          "responses": {
            "default": {
              "statusCode": "200",
              "responseTemplates": {
                "application/json": "$input.json('$.body')"
              }
            }
          }
        }
      },
</code></pre>

<p>But my backend just receives "{username}" as the path variable.<br>
Anyone know how to send the path variable along?<br>
Tips on how to do it in a swagger json file or via the GUI would be great! </p>
