CloudFront can't reach API Gateway

Question

I've got CloudFront configured to hit my backend, but it can't resolve the API Gateway.

```
CloudFront wasn't able to resolve the origin domain name. We can't connect to the server for this app or website at this time. There might be too much traffic or a configuration error. Try again later, or contact the app or website owner.
If you provide content to customers through CloudFront, you can find steps to troubleshoot and help prevent this error by reviewing the CloudFront documentation.
```

It works just fine hitting the API Gateway directly.

```
$ curl https://9cm2clgsng.execute-api.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/api/test
{"test":"ok"}
```

Hi, @catsclaw.

I was able

```
% curl https://9cm2clgsng.execute-api.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/api/test
{"test":"ok"}%                                                                                                                                                                     % curl https://d2hc0o1gg1vepi.cloudfront.net/api/test                    
{"test":"ok"}%     
```

Please check the settings according to the following.

For example, the protocol should be HTTPS only.
