Amazon S3 downloads index.html instead of serving

Question

I\'ve set up Amazon S3 to serve my static site, speakeasylinguistics.com. All of the DNS stuff seems to be working okay, because dig +recurse +trace www.s

Answer 1

Running curl -I against the url you posted gives the following result:

curl -I http://speakeasylinguistics.com.s3-website-us-east-1.amazonaws.com/
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
x-amz-id-2: DmfUpbglWQ/evhF3pTiXYf6c+gIE8j0F6mw7VmATOpfc29V5tb5YTeojC68jE7Rd

This line is the culprit:

If you are using the AWS console, I believe this can be changed by selecting the file in S3 and modifying its meta data by removing this property.
