Is there a way to make S3 default to an index.html page? E.g.: My bucket object listing:

/index.html
/favicon.ico
/images/logo.gif

A call to http://www.example.com/index.html works great! But if one were to call http://www.example.com/ we’d either get a 403 or a REST object listing XML document depending on how bucket-level ACL was configured.

So, the question: Is there a way to have index.html functionality with content hosted on S3?

    It is extremely easy to do using the aws cli:

    aws s3 website $MY_BUCKET_NAME --index-document index.html

    You can set the index document from the AWS Management Console:
