I have my website hosted on S3 with CloudFront as a CDN, and I need these two URLs to behave the same and to serve the index.html file within the directory:
example.com/directory example.com/directory/
The one with the / at the end incorrectly prompts the browser to download a zero byte file with a random hash for the name of the file. Without the slash it returns my 404 page.
How can I get both paths to deliver the index.html file within the directory?
If there's a way I'm "supposed" to do this, great! That's what I'm hoping for, but if not I'll probably try to use Lambda@Edge to do a redirect. I need that for some other situations anyway, so some instructions on how to do a 301 or 302 redirect from Lambda@Edge would be helpful too : )
Update (as per John Hanley's Comment)
curl -i https://www.example.com/directory/
HTTP/2 200 content-type: application/x-directory content-length: 0 date: Sat, 12 Jan 2019 22:07:47 GMT last-modified: Wed, 31 Jan 2018 00:44:16 GMT etag: "[id]" accept-ranges: bytes server: AmazonS3 x-cache: Miss from cloudfront via: 1.1 [id].cloudfront.net (CloudFront) x-amz-cf-id: [id] Update
CloudFront has one behavior set, forwarding http to https and sending the requests to S3. I also has a 404 error route under the errors tab.
