Issue description

I set up a simple response authorizer like so:

provider:
  ...
  httpApi:
    authorizers:
      verify_token:
        type: request
        functionName: verify_token
        resultTtlInSeconds: 300
        enableSimpleResponses: true
        payloadVersion: '2.0'
        identitySource:
          - $request.header.Authorization

and return a context in my authorizer like so:

let authResult = {
            "isAuthorized": true,
            "context": {
                "email": decoded.email,
                "user_id": decoded.user_id,
            }
        };
return callback(null, authResult);

However, the context is not getting passed into my lambda function. I saw that this was supposed to be addressed here: https://github.com/serverless/serverless/pull/4773 but perhaps that only works for authorizers with Policy responses and not simple responses?

@jega-ms I don’t think that simple responses are even supported by serverless-offline. I’ve just created this issue in serverless-offline repo https://github.com/dherault/serverless-offline/issues/1475

Hey @jega-ms - it seems like something specific to serverless-offline plugin so you might need to consult the features that are supported on that plugin side and report potential issues there.
