cloudfront and s3 301 redirect shows naked domain of the bucket

Question

I have a static web site on an s3 bucket. the domain address is example.com and works fine.

Now I want to route all traffic to www.example to the same bucket with a 301 redirect.

For this I have done the following:

1. I have set up a bucket, that directs all traffic to the other bucket (I entered the full endpoint url with example.com.s3-website.eu-central-1.awsamazon.com)

2. I have set up a cloudfront distribution for www.example.com, which has the bucket for the www.example.com (which only redirects all traffic to the bucket of example.com). I have entered the alternate domain name as www.example.com

3. I have set up a route 53 entry for www.example.com A record that points to cloudfront distribution of www.example.com.

The problem that I have is, the redirection works fine, but the naked endpoint url is displayed after redirect on the address bar of the browser. I want it to display www.example.com

The actual address is prochoice.com.tr

Thank you in advance for all help.

That's the problem. You want to enter the actual hostname that you want the browser to be told to request -- not the underlying endpoint.

The value for this would just be example.com.
