Amazon S3 object redirect

Question

Is it possible to put a redirect header on a s3-object? Like a 301 redirect.

For example:

mybucket.amazon-aws.com/myobject --> example.com/test
         


        

Answer 1

Edit: See answer above as this functionality is now native in AWS

Not really no. There isn't an inbuilt feature which allows this, however, what you can do is to create your object and even if you don't save it as HTML, you can apply it as an HTML file.

For example:

    
    
    



    http://www.example.com/target/
