Hey @paulyoung,I see it has been merged into icx-proxy. But I use the following method to deploy on the main network, but it doesn’t work. Do I need to do anything else? Or must it only be used in icx-proxy?

```auto
  public query func http_request(request : HttpRequest) : async HttpResponse {
    {
      status_code = 200;
      headers = [];
      body = Text.encodeUtf8("Response to " # request.method # " request (query)");
      streaming_strategy = null;
    };
  };

  public shared func http_request_update(request : HttpRequest) : async HttpResponse {
    {
      status_code = 200;
      headers = [];
      body = Text.encodeUtf8("Response to post" # request.method # " request (update)");
      streaming_strategy = null;
    };
  };

```
