Sets a bucket to the static website hosting mode and configures redirection rules.

Upload limits

Static websites are websites where all web pages consist only of static content, including scripts such as JavaScript code that runs on the client. If you want to specify an Object Storage Service (OSS) object as a static page, the static page cannot contain content that needs to be processed by the server, such as PHP, JSP, and ASP.NET content.

  • Features

    The PutBucketWebsite operation is used to configure the default homepage, default 404 page, and RoutingRule of the bucket that is set to the static website hosting mode. RoutingRule is used to specify redirection rules and mirroring-based back-to-origin rules. Mirroring-based back-to-origin supports the Alibaba Cloud public cloud and Finance Cloud.

  • Access by using custom domain names

    To use a custom domain name to access bucket-based static websites, you can use CNAMEs. For more information about specific operations, see Map custom domain names.

  • Index page and error page

    When you set a bucket to the static website hosting mode, you can specify the index page and the error page of the static website. The specified index page and error page must be objects in the bucket.

  • Anonymous access to the root domain name

    After a bucket is set to the static website hosting mode, OSS returns the index page for anonymous access to the root domain name of the static website. If a signed request is sent to access the root domain name of the static website, OSS returns the result of the GetBucket (ListObjects) operation.

Request parameters

  • The following table describes the element for WebsiteConfiguration.
    Element Type Required Description
    WebsiteConfiguration Container Yes The root node.

    Parent nodes: none

  • The following table describes the elements for IndexDocument.
    Element Type Required Description
    IndexDocument Container Conditional

    You must specify at least one of the following containers: IndexDocument, ErrorDocument, and RoutingRules.

    The container for the default homepage.

    Parent nodes: WebsiteConfiguration

    Suffix String Conditional

    This element must be specified if IndexDocument is specified.

    The default homepage.

    After the default homepage is specified, OSS returns the default homepage if an object whose name ends with a forward slash (/) is accessed.

    Parent nodes: IndexDocument

    SupportSubDir String No Specifies whether to redirect the access to the default homepage in the subdirectory when the subdirectory is accessed. Default value: false. Valid values:
    • true: The access is redirected to the default homepage of the subdirectory.
    • false: The access is redirected to the default homepage of the root directory instead of that of the subdirectory.

    Example: The default homepage is set to index.html, and bucket.oss-cn-hangzhou.aliyuncs.com/subdir/ is to access. If SupportSubDir is set to false, the access is redirected to bucket.oss-cn-hangzhou.aliyuncs.com/index.html. If SupportSubDir is set to true, the access is redirected to bucket.oss-cn-hangzhou.aliyuncs.com/subdir/index.html.

    Parent nodes: IndexDocument

    Type Enumeration No The operation to perform when the default homepage is set, the name of the accessed object does not end with a forward slash (/), and the object does not exist. This parameter takes effect only when SupportSubDir is set to true. It takes effect after RoutingRule but before ErrorFile.

    If the default homepage for access to bucket.oss-cn-hangzhou.aliyuncs.com/abc is set to index.html and the abc object does not exist, the valid values of Type correspond to the following operations. The default value of Type is 0.

    • 0: OSS checks whether the object named abc/index.html, which is in the Object + Forward slash (/) + Homepage format, exists. If the object exists, OSS returns 302 and the Location header value that contains URL-encoded /abc/. The URL-encoded /abc/ is in the Forward slash (/) + Object + Forward slash (/) format. If the object does not exist, OSS returns 404 and continues to check ErrorFile.
    • 1: OSS returns 404 and NoSuchKey and continues to check ErrorFile.
    • 2: OSS checks whether abc/index.html exists. If abc/index.html exists, the content of the object is returned. If abc/index.html does not exist, OSS returns 404 and continues to check ErrorFile.

    The redirection type. Valid values:
    • Mirror: mirroring-based back-to-origin.
    • External: external redirection. OSS returns the 3xx HTTP redirect code and the Location header for you to redirect the access to another IP address.
    • AliCDN: redirection based on Alibaba Cloud Content Delivery Network (CDN). OSS adds an additional header to the request, which is different from the External type. After CDN identifies the header, CDN redirects the access to the specified IP address and returns the obtained data instead of the redirect request to the user.

    Parent nodes: Redirect

    PassQueryString Boolean No Specifies whether to include parameters of the original request in the redirect request when the system runs the redirection rule or mirroring-based back-to-origin rule.

    For example, if the PassQueryString parameter is set to true and the ?a=b&c=d parameter is included in a request sent to OSS, PassQueryString is set to true, and the redirection mode is 302, this parameter is added to the Location header. For example, if the request is Location:www.example.com?a=b&c=d and the redirection type is mirroring-based back-to-origin, the ?a=b&c=d parameter is also included in the back-to-origin request. Default value: false

    Valid values: true and false

    Parent nodes: Redirect

    MirrorURL String Conditional

    This element must be specified if RedirectType is set to Mirror.

    The origin URL for mirroring-based back-to-origin. This element takes effect only when the value of RedirectType is Mirror.

    The origin URL must start with http:// or https:// and end with a forward slash (/). OSS adds an object name to the end of the URL to generate a back-to-origin URL.

    For example, the name of the object to access is myobject. If MirrorURL is set to http://www.example.com/, the back-to-origin URL is http://www.example.com/dir1/myobject. If MirrorURL is set to http://www.example.com/dir1/, the back-to-origin URL is http://www.example.com/dir1/myobject.

    Parent nodes: Redirect

    Parent nodes: Redirect

    MirrorFollowRedirect Boolean No Specifies whether to redirect the access to the address specified by Location if the origin returns a 3xx HTTP status code. This element takes effect only when the value of RedirectType is Mirror.

    For example, when a mirroring-based back-to-origin request is initiated, the origin returns 302 and Location is specified.

    • If you set MirrorFollowRedirect to true, OSS continues to request the address specified by Location.

      The access can be redirected for up to 10 times. If the access is redirected for more than 10 times, the mirroring-based back-to-origin request fails.

    • If you set MirrorFollowRedirect to false, OSS returns 302 and passes through Location.

    Default value: true

    Parent nodes: Redirect

    MirrorCheckMd5 Boolean No Specifies whether to check the MD5 hash of the body of the response returned by the origin. This element takes effect only when the value of RedirectType is Mirror.

    When the MirrorFollowRedirect value is true and the response returned by the origin includes the Content-Md5 header, OSS checks whether the MD5 hash of the obtained data matches the header value. If the MD5 hash of the obtained data does not match the header value, OSS does not store the data.

    Default value: false

    Parent nodes: Redirect
    MirrorHeaders Container No The headers contained in the response that is returned when you use mirroring-based back-to-origin. This element takes effect only when the value of RedirectType is Mirror.

    Parent nodes: Redirect
