 Called with [normalized](source/core/index.ts) [request options](#options). Got will make no further changes to the request before it is sent. This is especially useful in conjunction with [`got.extend()`](#instances) when you want to create an API client that, for example, uses HMAC-signing.
 
-See the [AWS section](#aws) for an example.

 **Tip:** You can override the `request` function by returning a [`ClientRequest`-like](https://nodejs.org/api/http.html#http_class_http_clientrequest) instance or a [`IncomingMessage`-like](https://nodejs.org/api/http.html#http_class_http_incomingmessage) instance. This is very useful when creating a custom cache mechanism.

 ## AWS
 
-Requests to AWS services need to have their headers signed. This can be accomplished by using the [`aws4`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/aws4) package. This is an example for querying an ["API Gateway"](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/apigateway/api-reference/signing-requests/) with a signed request.
