AWS S3 Download Link Issues

Question

I am currently experiencing an issue with AWS S3 Buckets. I've successfully managed to set the roles and permission for specific objects and make some of them downloadable for everyone via a specific link.

https://<sub-domain>.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/path/path/a87cd6a9-a2d9-4231-beb3-6b1e76d90490/8e958264-4baf-4fbe-918b-c30d9d450671.jpg

This link is a download link for an image and when I click it the browser recommends me to "Stay Safe" and the connection to this Server is not privat / secure.

Any ideas how I can verify the SSL Certificate?

Answer 1

You can't use https for downloading objects from S3. Its only available through http, thus there are no certificates to validate. For ssl you need to use CloudFront with S3:

• How do I use CloudFront to serve HTTPS requests for my Amazon S3 bucket?
• Setup AWS S3 static website hosting using SSL (ACM)
