Question 18721 in Amazon Web Sevices Question posted in
The official Amazon Web Services documentation can be found here.

Redirect one file in Amazon S3 to external domain – Amazon Web Sevices

Let’s say I have an object at http://mybucket.s3.amazonaws.com/folder1/folder2/pdf/something.pdf

There are NO other files in the bucket as this was setup for a legacy link that is being used in an old marketing campaign.

I want that link to redirect to https://example.com (the screenshot has a different domain but SO won’t let me post it here).

Tried to setup static hosting with variations of this but can’t seem to get this to work. Is there a way to do a redirect for this one file?

In the interim I had to add a blank pdf that just has a link for the user to click which isn’t ideal.

    The other option seems to be "Redirect requests for an object". Instructions are in the official documentation.

    I think this guide will work for you.

    Basically it replaces the obsolete file with an HTML file, while retaining the old name something.pdf. The HTML contains meta header <meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="0; URL=http://www.example.com/target/"> that should force an instant redirect to the desired location. Make sure to edit the file metadata ContentType to text/html so that the browser is able to read it.

    I tried this myself as well, it works!
