Redirection Rules

Suppose there are two buckets: one-bucket, another-bucket.

Show content in another bucket when the file is missing in one bucket:

  <RoutingRules>
    <RoutingRule>
    <Condition>
      <HttpErrorCodeReturnedEquals>403</HttpErrorCodeReturnedEquals >
    </Condition>
    <Redirect>
      <HostName>another-bucket.s3.amazonaws.com</HostName>
    </Redirect>
    </RoutingRule>
  </RoutingRules>
