aws_cdk.aws_stepfunctions_tasks.HttpInvoke: Too much props required to make it work

[boringContributor]

Describe the bug

The HttpInvoke task requires too much information than actually needed, which makes the development much more complicated.

1. It requires apiRoot and apiEndpoint. Why does it requires those separately? The SFN ASL Definition clearly allows only to pass the apiEndpoint.
2. ConnectionARN: It should be possible to only pass a ConnectionARN, not require to also provide the SecretARN and ConnectionName.

Expected Behavior

Only the minimum amount of required props should be provided to make it work.

e.g. only paste the ApiEndpoint, only provide the ConnectionARN

Current Behavior

in order to specific an API, both, apiRoot AND apiEndpoint are required
in order to connect an event bridge connection a Connection.fromConnectionAttributes(...) is necessary which requires the ConnectionARN, SecretARN and the ConnectionName

Reproduction Steps

Import the HttpInvoke task and try to set it up.

@boringContributor Good morning. Thanks for opening the issue. Please review if this issue really a bug, or a proposal for feature request, or better Q&A discussion. Any changes to current design to the library needs to be evaluated in terms of whether it's a breaking change, traction from community, etc.

Thanks,
Ashish

hey @ashishdhingra thanks for the quick reply. Imho this is a bug. It clearly states that those properties are not required, still, the CDK Task made it required.
