How to remove index.html from url in S3 website hosting?

Question

I have a directory like this:

/example.com/
  index.html
    foo/
      index.html

The index document is set to index.html , so when the url is https://example.com , it shows /example.com/index.html .

Also, I wanna show /example.com/foo/index.html when the url is https://example.com/foo .

How can I do this?

If you have activated Static Website Hosting on your S3 bucket, and have configured index.html as your default page, this will work automatically.

To test this, I did the following:

• Created a new bucket
• Turned on Static Website hosting
• Created a foo directory
• Uploaded an index.html file to the foo directory and made it public
• Copied the bucket URL from the Static Website Hosting page and appended /foo

It looked like:

http://my-bucket.s3-website-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/foo

The index page came up just fine.

By the way, it redirected me to /foo/ .
