PUT Bucket website

Description

Sets the configuration of the website that is specified in the website subresource. To configure a bucket as a website, you can add this subresource on the bucket with website configuration information such as the file name of the index document and any redirect rules. For more information, go to Hosting Websites on Amazon S3 in the Amazon S3 Developer Guide.

This PUT operation requires the S3:PutBucketWebsite permission. By default, only the bucket owner can configure the website attached to a bucket; however, bucket owners can allow other users to set the website configuration by writing a bucket policy that grants them the S3:PutBucketWebsite permission.

Request Parameters

This implementation of the operation does not use request parameters.

Request Headers

This implementation of the operation uses only request headers that are common to all operations. For more information, see Common Request Headers.

Request Elements

You can use a website configuration to redirect all requests to the website endpoint of a bucket, or you can add routing rules that redirect only specific requests.

To redirect all website requests sent to the bucket's website endpoint, you add a website configuration with the following elements. Because all requests are send to another website, you don't need to provide index document name for the bucket.

Name	Description	Required
`WebsiteConfiguration`	The root element for the website configuration Type: Container Ancestors: None	Yes
`RedirectAllRequestsTo`	Describes the redirect behavior for every request to this bucket's website endpoint. If this element is present, no other siblings are allowed. Type: Container Ancestors: WebsiteConfiguration	Yes
`HostName`	Name of the host where requests will be redirected. Type: String Ancestors: RedirectAllRequestsTo	Yes
`Protocol`	Protocol to use (http, https) when redirecting requests. The default is the protocol that is used in the original request. Type: String Ancestors: RedirectAllRequestsTo	No

If you want granular control over redirects, you can use the following elements to add routing rules that describe conditions for redirecting requests and information about the redirect destination. In this case, the website configuration must provide an index document for the bucket, because some requests might not be redirected.

Name	Description	Required
`WebsiteConfiguration`	Container for the request Type: Container Ancestors: None	Yes
`IndexDocument`	Container for the `Suffix` element. Type: Container Ancestors: WebsiteConfiguration	Yes
`Suffix`	A suffix that is appended to a request that is for a directory on the website endpoint (e.g., if the suffix is index.html and you make a request to `samplebucket/images/`, the data that is returned will be for the object with the key name images/index.html) The suffix must not be empty and must not include a slash character. Type: String Ancestors: WebsiteConfiguration.IndexDocument	Yes
`ErrorDocument`	Container for the `Key` element Type: Container Ancestors: WebsiteConfiguration	No
`Key`	The object key name to use when a 4XX class error occurs. This key identifies the page that is returned when such an error occurs. Type: String Ancestors: WebsiteConfiguration.ErrorDocument Condition: Required when `ErrorDocument` is specified.	Conditional
`RoutingRules`	Container for a collection of RoutingRule elements. Type: Container Ancestors: WebsiteConfiguration	No
`RoutingRule`	Container for one routing rule that identifies a condition and a redirect that applies when the condition is met. Type: String Ancestors: WebsiteConfiguration.RoutingRules Condition: In a `RoutingRules` container, there must be at least one of `RoutingRule` element.	Yes
`Condition`	A container for describing a condition that must be met for the specified redirect to apply. For example: If request is for pages in the `/docs` folder, redirect to the `/documents` folder. If request results in HTTP error 4xx, redirect request to another host where you might process the error. Type: Container Ancestors: WebsiteConfiguration.RoutingRules.RoutingRule	No
`KeyPrefixEquals`	The object key name prefix when the redirect is applied. For example, to redirect requests for `ExamplePage.html`, the key prefix will be `ExamplePage.html`. To redirect request for all pages with the prefix `docs/`, the key prefix will be `/docs`, which identifies all objects in the `docs/` folder. Type: String Ancestors: WebsiteConfiguration.RoutingRules.RoutingRule.Condition Condition: Required when the parent element `Condition` is specified and sibling `HttpErrorCodeReturnedEquals` is not specified. If both conditions are specified, both must be true for the redirect to be applied.	Conditional
`HttpErrorCodeReturnedEquals`	The HTTP error code when the redirect is applied. In the event of an error, if the error code equals this value, then the specified redirect is applied. Type: String Ancestors: WebsiteConfiguration.RoutingRules.RoutingRule.Condition Condition: Required when parent element `Condition` is specified and sibling `KeyPrefixEquals` is not specified. If both are specified, then both must be true for the redirect to be applied.	Conditional
`Redirect`	Container for redirect information. You can redirect requests to another host, to another page, or with another protocol. In the event of an error, you can can specify a different error code to return. Type: String Ancestors: WebsiteConfiguration.RoutingRules.RoutingRule	Yes
`Protocol`	The protocol to use in the redirect request. Type: String Ancestors: WebsiteConfiguration.RoutingRules.RoutingRule.Redirect Valid Values: http, https Condition: Not required if one of the siblings is present	No
`HostName`	The host name to use in the redirect request. Type: String Ancestors: WebsiteConfiguration.RoutingRules.RoutingRule.Redirect Condition: Not required if one of the siblings is present	No
`ReplaceKeyPrefixWith`	The object key prefix to use in the redirect request. For example, to redirect requests for all pages with prefix `docs/` (objects in the `docs/` folder) to `documents/`, you can set a `condition` block with `KeyPrefixEquals` set to `docs/` and in the `Redirect` set `ReplaceKeyPrefixWith` to `/documents`. Type: String Ancestors: WebsiteConfiguration.RoutingRules.RoutingRule.Redirect Condition: Not required if one of the siblings is present. Can be present only if `ReplaceKeyWith` is not provided.	No
`ReplaceKeyWith`	The specific object key to use in the redirect request. For example, redirect request to `error.html`. Type: String Ancestors: WebsiteConfiguration.RoutingRules.RoutingRule.Redirect Condition: Not required if one of the sibling is present. Can be present only if `ReplaceKeyPrefixWith` is not provided.	No
`HttpRedirectCode`	The HTTP redirect code to use on the response. Type: String Ancestors: WebsiteConfiguration.RoutingRules.RoutingRule.Redirect Condition: Not required if one of the siblings is present.	No

Responses

Response Headers

This implementation of the operation uses only response headers that are common to most responses. For more information, see Common Response Headers.

Response Elements

This implementation of the operation does not return response elements.

Examples

Example 1: Configure bucket as a website (add website configuration)

The following request configures a bucket example.com as a website. The configuration in the request specifies index.html as the index document. It also specifies the optional error document, SomeErrorDocument.html.

PUT ?website HTTP/1.1
Host: example.com.s3.amazonaws.com
Content-Length: 256
Date: Thu, 27 Jan 2011 12:00:00 GMT
Authorization: AWS AKIAIOSFODNN7EXAMPLE:acxI7sWO+ugzxhf2AtcqRLgy70B=

<WebsiteConfiguration xmlns='http://s3.amazonaws.com/doc/2006-03-01/'>
    <IndexDocument>
        <Suffix>index.html</Suffix>
    </IndexDocument>
    <ErrorDocument>
        <Key>SomeErrorDocument.html</Key>
    </ErrorDocument>
</WebsiteConfiguration>

Amazon S3 returns the following sample response.

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
x-amz-id-2: YgIPIfBiKa2bj0KMgUAdQkf3ShJTOOpXUueF6QKo
x-amz-request-id: 80CD4368BD211111
Date: Thu, 27 Jan 2011 00:00:00 GMT
Content-Length: 0
Server: AmazonS3

Example 2: Configure bucket as a website but redirect all requests

The following request configures a bucket www.example.com as a website; however, the configuration specifies that all GET requests for the www.example.com bucket's website endpoint will be redirected to host example.com.

PUT ?website HTTP/1.1
Host: www.example.com.s3.amazonaws.com
Content-Length: length-value
Date: Thu, 27 Jan 2011 12:00:00 GMT
Authorization: AWS AKIAIOSFODNN7EXAMPLE:acxI7sWO+ugzxhf2AtcqRLgy70B=

<WebsiteConfiguration xmlns='http://s3.amazonaws.com/doc/2006-03-01/'>
   <RedirectAllRequestsTo>
      <HostName>example.com</HostName>
    </RedirectAllRequestsTo>
</WebsiteConfiguration>

This redirect can be useful when you want to serve requests for both http://www.example.com and http://example.com, but you want to maintain the website content in only one bucket, in this case example.com. For more information, go to Hosting Websites on Amazon S3 in the Amazon Simple Storage Service Developer Guide.

Example 3: Configure bucket as a website and also specify optional redirection rules

Example 1 is the simplest website configuration. It configures a bucket as a website by providing only an index document and an error docment. You can further customize the website configuration by adding routing rules that redirect requests for one or more objects. For example, suppose your bucket contained the following objects:

index.html

docs/article1.html

docs/article2.html

If you decided to rename the folder from docs/ to documents/, you would need to redirect requests for prefix /docs to documents/. For example, a request for docs/article1.html will need to be redirected to documents/article1.html.

In this case, you update the website configuration and add a routing rule as shown in the following request:

PUT ?website HTTP/1.1
Host: www.example.com.s3.amazonaws.com
Content-Length: length-value
Date: Thu, 27 Jan 2011 12:00:00 GMT
Authorization: AWS AKIAIOSFODNN7EXAMPLE:acxI7sWO+ugzxhf2AtcqRLgy70B=

<WebsiteConfiguration xmlns='http://s3.amazonaws.com/doc/2006-03-01/'>
  <IndexDocument>
    <Suffix>index.html</Suffix>
  </IndexDocument>
  <ErrorDocument>
    <Key>Error.html</Key>
  </ErrorDocument>

  <RoutingRules>
    <RoutingRule>
    <Condition>
      <KeyPrefixEquals>docs/</KeyPrefixEquals>
    </Condition>
    <Redirect>
      <ReplaceKeyPrefixWith>documents/</ReplaceKeyPrefixWith>
    </Redirect>
    </RoutingRule>
  </RoutingRules>
</WebsiteConfiguration>

Example 4: Configure bucket as a website and redirect errors

You can use a routing rule to specify a condition that checks for a specific HTTP error code. When a page request results in this error, you can optionally reroute requests. For example, you might route requests to another host and optionally process the error. The routing rule in the following requests redirects requests to an EC2 instance in the event of an HTTP error 404. For illustration, the redirect also inserts a object key prefix report-404/ in the redirect. For example, if you request a page ExamplePage.html and it results in a HTTP 404 error, the request is routed to a page report-404/testPage.html on the specified EC2 instance. If there is no routing rule and the HTTP error 404 occurred, then Error.html would be returned.

PUT ?website HTTP/1.1
Host: www.example.com.s3.amazonaws.com
Content-Length: 580
Date: Thu, 27 Jan 2011 12:00:00 GMT
Authorization: AWS AKIAIOSFODNN7EXAMPLE:acxI7sWO+ugzxhf2AtcqRLgy70B=

<WebsiteConfiguration xmlns='http://s3.amazonaws.com/doc/2006-03-01/'>
  <IndexDocument>
    <Suffix>index.html</Suffix>
  </IndexDocument>
  <ErrorDocument>
    <Key>Error.html</Key>
  </ErrorDocument>

  <RoutingRules>
    <RoutingRule>
    <Condition>
      <HttpErrorCodeReturnedEquals>404</HttpErrorCodeReturnedEquals >
    </Condition>
    <Redirect>
      <HostName>ec2-11-22-333-44.compute-1.amazonaws.com</HostName>
      <ReplaceKeyPrefixWith>report-404/</ReplaceKeyPrefixWith>
    </Redirect>
    </RoutingRule>
  </RoutingRules>
</WebsiteConfiguration>

Example 5: Configure a bucket as a website and redirect folder requests to a page

Suppose you have the following pages in your bucket:

images/photo1.jpg

images/photo2.jpg

images/photo3.jpg

Now you want to route requests for all pages with the images/ prefix to go to a single page, errorpage.html. You can add a website configuration to your bucket with the routing rule shown in the following request:

PUT ?website HTTP/1.1
Host: www.example.com.s3.amazonaws.com
Content-Length: 481
Date: Thu, 27 Jan 2011 12:00:00 GMT
Authorization: AWS AKIAIOSFODNN7EXAMPLE:acxI7sWO+ugzxhf2AtcqRLgy70B=

<WebsiteConfiguration xmlns='http://s3.amazonaws.com/doc/2006-03-01/'>
  <IndexDocument>
    <Suffix>index.html</Suffix>
  </IndexDocument>
  <ErrorDocument>
    <Key>Error.html</Key>
  </ErrorDocument>

  <RoutingRules>
    <RoutingRule>
    <Condition>
      <KeyPrefixEquals>images/</KeyPrefixEquals>
    </Condition>
    <Redirect>
      <ReplaceKeyWith>errorpage.html</ReplaceKeyWith>
    </Redirect>
    </RoutingRule>
  </RoutingRules>
</WebsiteConfiguration>
